Opponent Gardner: Gardner and Home Plate

opponent gardner: It's an exciting win for us a very important game against a tough opponent, according to The Japan Times. Gardner won the series opener against the Rays on Thursday night with an 11th-inning home run. Gardner hit an RBI single with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, sending the AL East leaders over the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 for their sixth straight win. ; Makes me feel good, Gardner said. That sparked a wild celebration at home plate, and Yankees rookie slugger Aaron Judge was accidentally hit by Gardner's helmet and lost half of his front left tooth. Chase Headley and Gary Sanchez hit long home runs for New York. A day after Judge went to the dentist for a fix, he steered clear this time, instead pouring Gatorade on Gardner and nimbly avoiding the happy group. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
