DJ LeMahieu’s return to relevance continued Sunday with a game-winning single in the bottom of the 10th.
It came against a drawn-in five-man infield after Trent Grisham moved free runner Anthony Volpe to third with a sacrifice bunt to start the inning.

LeMahieu, slumping all year, had a career-high six-RBI game Wednesday against the Phillies and continued his heroics Sunday in The Bronx to end a 4-3, 10-inning win.
It came after the game was delayed for nearly two hours before the bottom of the eighth.
Mark Leiter Jr., who got the final out of the ninth, retired Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer to start the top of the 10th before he hit Daulton Varsho with a pitch.
But he recovered to whiff Alejandro Kirk.
The victory was the Yankees’ seventh in their last eight games.
