CLEVELAND (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. once again showed why he relishes being the opposing player fans love to hate.
The flashy second baseman quieted chants of “overrated” in Cleveland with a home run in the eighth inning that sent the New York Yankees to a 3-2 victory over the Guardians on Tuesday night.
“I love it. Kind of. I feel like that was the loudest chants all day we heard, so I think it was great,” Chisholm said.
Chisholm admitted the chants got him a little too riled up in the fifth, when he overswung at a couple of pitches and struck out.
He fell behind 0-2 against reliever Tim Herrin leading off the eighth before laying off a couple of pitches and working a full count. On the seventh pitch of the at-bat, Chisholm got a slider in the upper corner of the strike zone and drove it 360 feet into the right-field stands to put the Yankees back on top.
