Gregorius glorious for Yanks

NEW YORK - While Didi Gregorius was pleased after ending a long power outage with a pair of home runs, Bryce Harper felt relieved to escape serious injury after being hit by two pitches.

CC Sabathia was just surprised, not realizing why the crowd gave him a prolonged ovation in the fourth inning of a superb outing.

Playing a team with a winning record for the first time this month, the New York Yankees beat the Washington Nationals 3-0 on Tuesday for their 10th win in 12 games.
