J.C. Escarra

New York Yankees backstop J.C. Escarra didn’t miss his pitch against the Toronto Blue Jays, smacking his first big-league homer in a 5-1 win. Tabbed with catcher duties in Game 2 of the doubleheader, the Florida native took former Yankees pitcher Chad Green deep in the eighth inning. "I did it here at home at Yankee Stadium," he said of his dinger. "It’s very special."
