Gardner, hitting out of the No. 6 hole, is currently 3-for-5 with five runs batted in and two runs (to go along with his two moonshots). He also added a double.
New York currently leads Toronto by a score of 9-1 in the bottom of the sixth. In addition to Gardner’s heroics, Gleyber Torres and Luke Voit put forth a back-to-back homer variety in the sixth inning.
