Watch: Austin caps Yanks' rout of Twins with HR off outfielder Lamarre

The New York Yankees torched the Minnesota Twins' pitching staff Monday.

Tyler Austin, however, picked on center fielder Ryan LaMarre.

Unsatisfied with his team's 11-run cushion in the bottom of the eighth inning, Austin smoked a two-run homer off LaMarre - thrust into emergency relief duty to spare his club's bullpen - to extend the Yankees' lead to 14-1.

For LaMarre, it was just the second pitching appearance of his career. His only previous outing came on July 2, 2016, when he threw a scoreless inning for the Boston Red Sox in a 21-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
