Maybe not the best idea to celebrate so wildly after hitting a home run in a game where your team is still losing? But Josh Naylor still did, and Gleyber Torres was here to perfectly troll him for it after the Yankees won the ALDS
The Yankees went on to win that game and the next rather easily - kind of like taking candy from a baby. They advance to the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros, with Game 1 set for Wednesday night.
Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning to give the Yankees an early lead. Aaron Judge followed with a solo shot in the second and Anthony Rizzo tacked on an RBI single in the fifth inning. Yankees starter Nester Cortes, pitching on three days rest, allowed three hits and one run over five innings. Jonathan Loaisiga tossed two shutout innings in relief and Clay Holmes and Wandy Peralta closed in out with a scoreless frame each.
Peralta got Naylor to ground out for the first out of the inning. After Gabriel Arias reached on an infield single, Peralta got Myles Straw to ground out to shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who flipped to Torres at second for the final out and baby rocking. Torres wasn't the only person at Yankee Stadium to mock Naylor. Many fans in attendance also did the rocking motion and serenaded Naylor with chants of"Who's your Daddy?"
