Spencer Jones' Speed Sparks Yankees' Six-Run Inning Against Red Sox

Spencer Jones' speed and athleticism were instrumental in a 9-2 win for the Yankees in their Game 2 wild-card win over the Red Sox. Jones led off the bottom of the sixth against Garrett Crochet, one of the game's top lefty pitchers, just back from a five-month absence due to a shoulder injury. Despite initially being ruled out, Jones reached first when the call was overturned. He then stole second and George Lombard Jr. drove in Jones with a single to set up a six-run inning. Jones has been praised for his speed and ability to adjust to the game. Despite starting out of his first 10 games in the majors, Jones has shown promising signs in the second half of the season.
