Some days, you hit lazy fly balls to shallow left field, and some days you hit doubles. For Ronald Torreyes, Saturday's matinee against the St. Louis Cardinals was a day to ask "why not both?"
The New York Yankees shortstop celebrated Jackie Robinson Day with a leadoff hit in the sixth inning on a pretty odd play, hitting what seemed to be a can of corn and turning it into extra bases.
To top it all off, Torreyes appears to not even look at the play unfolding all the way up the first-base line, before realizing that he's happened upon a hit and turning on the jets to get to second base. On an extremely close play at the bag, Torreyes was ruled safe thanks to a pretty creative slide while turned on his back.
It ended up being a pretty pivotal play, as the Yankees ended up scoring two runs that inning, taking a 3-0 lead. The Cardinals would end up storming back to make it a close one, but New York held on for a 3-2 victory.
