New York Yankees Win Thanks to Pair of Gold Glove Catches in 9th Inning

By Anthony Blake

With a one-run lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning, the New York Yankees generally feel pretty confident about their chances thanks to closer Aroldis Chapman.

You can add a couple of capable gloves to that list of saviors, with Brett Gardner and Ronald Torreyes preserving the win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.

The first catch by Gardner looked more spectacular and robbed the tying and potential go-ahead runs on a homer, but the second grab by Torreyes was just as vital to the Yanks getting the win.

This type of leather could make the boys from the Bronx a real threat as the Wild Card team in the American League.
