Raps three hits, scores twice Verdugo batted seventh and went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

Impact Verdugo, who entered the contest with just one hit over 14 at-bats since returning from the All-Star break, was a key offensive contributor late in the game.
