Escobar went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI against the Yankees on Tuesday.
Escobar batted cleanup for the second time this season with left-handed pitcher CC Sabathia on the mound and took advantage by posting his first three-hit performance of the season. Though he has only two home runs, he has a 38 percent hard contact rate which has resulted in a .534 slugging percentage. With Jorge Polanco serving an 80-game suspension, Escobar should have the opportunity to maintain his solid early season performance while seeing consistent at-bats.
