Yandy Diaz Takes Gerrit Cole Deep Friday
6 years agoTampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz drilled a 420-foot homer off Gerrit Cole in the Rays win over the Houston Astros on Friday. Diaz hit out of the cleanup spot in this one and took advantage of it. Unfortunately, there was nobody on base, but this is a good start for the 27-year-old, as he went 2-for-4 on the day. He’s trying to make the most of his opportunity to start at third with Matt Duffy (hamstring) injured to begin the year. Diaz could provide mixed league value with consistent playing time, especially at cleanup for this improved Rays team.
