Alfonso Soriano has been on fire since last month when he came back to the New York Yankees in a trade from the Chicago Cubs before the trade deadline. <br /><br />He's been crushing the ball so much compared to the other Yankees that even fly ball outs look like they could be homers. Well maybe not. The Yankees finished a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday of which they dropped two. <br /><br />On Saturday night, in the second game of the series, the Yankees were up 2-0 at the top of the sixth inning. Soriano was up at bat and the count was full at 3-2, when Rays pitcher David Price gunned one toward the plate. Soriano made contact and thought that he had given the Yankees another run when he smashed a fly ball into left field. Soriano clearly thought he had hit a homer, so he did the right thing and flipped his bat and then took a cocky skip down the first base line. <br /><br />The only problem was that Soriano's hit wasn't a home run. Rays outfielder Sean Rodriguez chased Soriano's hit down and ended making a great play at the wall. The Yankees ended up losing the game Saturday 4-2. <br /><br />However on Sunday, the Yankees avoided the three-game sweep by defeating the Rays 3-2. Curtis Granderson connected on a sacrifice fly in the 11th inning to help the Yankees come up with the win. Soriano made up for Saturday with a one-out double off Jamey Wright. Soriano stole third and came home on Granderson's fly ball to center field.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
