Getting your player ready...
Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta is a human Icy Hot. He’s never lukewarm. Iannetta entered Sunday batting .200 in June. He responded with his first multi-hit game since June 10, belting his 10th home run. The Rockies have four players with double-figure homers.
On second thought.
Mired in a 1-for-16 slump, second baseman Chris Nelson was given a breather Sunday at Yankee Stadium. Jonathan Herrera started in his place. Herrera has morphed into a utility player because of his offensive struggles. He has just three hits in June.
Big Tex.
Mark Teixeira’s 23rd homer of the season tied him with Toronto slugger Jose Bautista for the major- league lead. Teixeira has hit 14 at Yankee Stadium.
