| Gregorius: 2 HR, 3 RB |
While the Orioles and Red Sox were rained out in Boston, the New York Yankees took advantage, picking up some ground in the standings with a 12-1 victory over the Miami Marlins Monday night in the Bronx.
Didi Gregorius, who has been the Yankees best player thus far, homered twice, driving in three runs in the rout. After walking and scoring in the third, Gregorius smacked a two-run shot in the fourth and went solo in the seventh inning.
He's batting .327 with five home runs and 16 RBI.
The well-rested Yankees who were snowed and rained out of an entire three-game series in Detroit over the weekend, returned home for the first of two against the Marlins on Monday, starting a ten-game home stand. They face Miami at 6:35 pm EDT on Tuesday, then open a four-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday.

| Grandal: 2B, GS, 5 RBI |
LA took a brief 1-0 lead on Grandal's RBI double, but the Padres came right back in the bottom of the frame on Christian Vliianueva's two-run home run.
After the Dodgers tallied four more in the third, San Diego would be unable to score off dodger starter Hyun-jin-Ryu again. Ryu struck out nine over six innings, giving up a mere three hits.
The score remained stuck at 6-2 until Grandal's bases-loaded blast in the ninth. The Padres scored another run in the bottom of the inning, but it was too little and far too late.
The win was the second straight for the Dodgers, who barely managed to keep the Padres in last place. San Diego is 5 1/2 off the pace set by Arizona in the West, but the Dodgers and Giants are five games out, just 1/2-game off the bottom.
The two teams play game two in San Diego, Tuesday night at 10:10 pm EDT.
