San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski had a memorable afternoon during his team's 3-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Yastrzemski, the grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, hit a solo home run to right field in the third inning, giving the Giants a 1-0 lead in a scoreless game.
Yastrzemski, who has three home runs this season and 90 in his six-year career, expressed his joy at playing in the ballpark where his grandfather spent 23 seasons. This was not the first time Yastrzemski had homered at Fenway Park; he also hit a home run during his only other visit five years ago.
