Notes & reviews

after catching the soft liner, Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano threw wide to first trying to double up Gregor Blanco; Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli retrieved the ball and bounced his throw to second; the ball went into center field, thus allowing Blanco to advance to third
