Just a babe, Eloy hits 1st two homers in BronxTHIS BALL WAS GAME USED AT THE GAME ON 04-12-2019
NEW YORK -- The Yankees found out in a big way why left fielder
Eloy Jiménez
is the
No. 3 prospect
in all of baseball and why the White Sox gave him a six-year, million contract before he played a regular-season game. Jimenez hit two monster home runs and drove in three runs as the White Sox
defeated the Yankees, 9-6,
in a rain-shortened affair at Yankee Stadium on Friday night.
With the score tied at 5 in the fifth inning, Jimenez took over the game.
Yoán Moncada
singled to left field off left-hander J.A Happ, who then left the game in favor of right-hander Jonathan Holder. Jimenez came to the plate and swung at a 2-1 pitch, lifting the ball into Monument Park to give Chicago a two-run lead. It traveled a projected 425 feet and came off the bat at 109 mph, per Statcast.
“How about that kid? He played a pretty good game,” White Sox manager Rick Renteria said about Jimenez. “He has a lot of talent. He had a really nice game for him.
“It was nice to see it. Again, over time, he will have good days and bad days. Today was a good day.”
Jimenez was given the silent treatment by his teammates before a celebration ensued in the White Sox dugout.
“I [felt] good. I got the first one out of the way, and [there will be] many [more] to come,” Jimenez said.
