Brett Gardner sparked a game-tying rally with a leadoff triple in the ninth, then launched a walk-off home run off Andrew Kittredge in the 11th inning as the Yankees defeated the Rays, 6-5, on Thursday evening at Yankee Stadium.
Down to their final three outs, the Yankees tied the game against Alex Colome. Gardner dashed to third base after his drive to the left-center-field gap, and Gary Sanchez knocked a game-tying hit past over-shifted infielders Adeiny Hechavarria and Tim Beckham.
