Oswaldo Cabrera’s key hustle play sparks Yankees’ comeback
NY Post
CHICAGO — The dictionary definition for “manufactured run” might now have to include Oswaldo Cabrera’s headshot.
With the Yankees’ offense sputtering, trailing 2-1 in the top of the seventh inning against the White Sox on Wednesday, Cabrera provided a much-needed jolt of energy.
After hitting a leadoff single off reliever Justin Anderson, Cabrera swiped second base.
Then, the 25-year-old laced up his cleats and didn’t look back.
Alex Verdugo launched a ball deep into the right-field gap. Dominic Fletcher raced from right field and made a lunging grab but fell over center fielder Luis Robert Jr. in the process.
Cabrera, seeing the bodies flail in the outfield, tagged up and scored all the way from second on what was scored as a sacrifice fly.
Vincent Trocheck called it an issue of pride, and it was hard for Rangers coach Mike Sullivan to disagree.
The Mets have subtracted a fourth member from their core.
It’s a simple formula, a winning formula:
The Islanders’ injuries have at least made one part of Mathieu Darche’s pending job easier: It’s not hard to discern what his needs are in the trade market.
The Mets–Yankees pipeline remains strong this offseason.
The Chiefs may be down another quarterback.
Draymond Green got tossed again, but this time, he has a point.
Andy Reid isn’t going anywhere.
The Yankees are bringing back another swingman.
It is not about any one thing.
The Rangers have another injury worry on their hands.
The loudest ovation of Friday night’s 116-107 loss to the 76ers had nothing to do with the Knicks’ pregame celebration for winning the NBA Cup.
