WATCH Marwin Gonzalez snags a line drive and stares down Yandy Diaz as he taps first base for an inning-ending double play

By Jared Bloom Modified 11 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Chicago White Sox v New York Yankees - Game Two New York Yankees rookie Marwin Gonzalez has been making spectacular defensive plays since he was called up. The utility man has found himself playing a variety of positions for the Yankees, and that was no different Saturday. Playing first base for the injured Anthony Rizzo, Gonzalez made a web-gem of a play to end the inning. The Yankees played an afternoon game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. In the top of the seventh inning, Rays shortstop Wander Franco hit a missile toward Marwin Gonzalez's path. Marwin Gonzalez leaped to make a spectacular catch. With one out and Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz frozen past first base, Gonzalez slowly tapped first base while staring Diaz down.

On the offensive side, the Yankees bats were hot. Josh Donaldson homered in the second inning off Rays pitcher Corey Kluber. Giancarlo Stanton also homered for the Yankees late in the eighth inning on a 47 MPH pitch. The Rays threw in the towel and let their bench catcher, Christian Bethancourt, pitch.

Cincinnati Reds v New York Yankees New York finishes up their series against the Rays on Sunday. After that series, the Yankees will start a two-game series against the Boston Red Sox. They will then head to Milwaukee to face the Brewers and then a series with the Pirates before they finish out their divisional series. The New York Yankees are currently in first place in the AL East. They hold a 4.5 game lead over the Rays and a 5.5 game lead over the Toronto Blue Jays.
