BALTIMORE – What stands out most about the Yankees sweeping four games from the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park over the weekend was Luke Voit’s coming out party.

A week ago, the big guy was a Triple-A player who had failed to show much in his first short stint with the Yankees since joining the organization in a late July trade from the St. Louis Cardinals.

Three starts in Baltimore later, Voit is making an early run at stealing the Yankees’ starting first base job away from Greg Bird, who is in an 0-for-17 slump and batting .199.

Voit hit a pair of two-run homers and a single in Friday night’s 10-inning win, he was 1-for-3 with an RBI single in Game 1 of Saturday’s day-night doubleheader and then was 3-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday night’s 5-3 victory.

After the Yankees swept the O’s, manager Aaron Boone raved about Voit.

PROSPECT SPOTLIGHT
Tyler Nunez, a C from Lake Nona HS, is a 6'2 190lb athletic catcher who provides strength with the bat and glove. During BP, Tyler stuck with a middle of the field approach while staying on a line. He impacted the ball well with his compact and direct path, T90EV. He showed off his real athleticism behind the plate by posting a 2.04 pop time while staying around the bag on every throw. He is a good looking athletic uncommitted catcher to keep an eye on.
