The 26-year-old infielder flew around the bases to unexpectedly score from first on Giancarlo Stanton’s RBI single in the fifth inning.
More than an “instinctive” play, it was closer to another ill-advised play that has become common with Torres.
In the first inning of the Yankees’ win over the Rangers on June 25, Torres, who was on second, was doubled up while speeding around third on what was a pop-out to second base. Those head-scratching decisions represent the biggest flaw remaining in Torres’ game, and are perhaps preventing him from reaching another level in stature.
