Brian's Bronx Breakthrough
Brian McCann's first year with the Yankees has proven to be a disappointment. The veteran catcher, after signing a five-year free agent deal last winter, was expected to be one of the power hitters and run producers in the middle of the batting order. Instead, his output was far below expectations. A lefty pull hitter who should thrive in Yankee Stadium has instead struggled. So Wednesday night's performance -- especially as the team fights to stay alive in the Wild Card chase -- had to be encouraging. Not only did he homer for the second night in a row, but he went 4-for-4, driving in three of the Yankees five runs in a 5 - 1 victory over the Red Sox.
