“#Greg Allen bringing element of speed to Yankees<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Fans of The Flash know the superhero\u2019s secret identity is Barry Allen.<\/p>\n

After what has transpired in The Bronx these last few days, the question must be asked:<\/p>\n

Any relation to Greg?<\/p>\n

The COVID-ravaged Yankees have themselves a most unlikely protagonist to save their season, and all it took to get him here was a call to their Hall of Justice outpost in Scranton. Allen\u2019s speed again played an integral role in vaulting the Yankees to their third straight victory, 6-4 over Joe Girardi\u2019s Phillies, Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just try to do what I can to make an impact and help the team win,\u201d Allen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love what he\u2019s brought,\u201d Aaron Boone said.<\/p>\n

Much more work must be done to lift the Yankees (49-44) out of the hole they have dug for themselves, and a look at the 28-year-old Allen\u2019s track record \u2014 not to mention old-fashioned common sense \u2014 deems it unreasonable to expect Allen to continue at his .500\/.583\/.875 pace, with five runs scored and a couple of stolen bases in three starts, with which he has begun his pinstrip<\/a>ed run.<\/p>\n

Yet by providing a burst of energy at a time of crisis, firing up the Yankees and their fans, the outfielder should secure a spot on this roster even if all of the COVID casualties return. He instantly has become the antidote to so much that plagued the Yankees, starting with an alarming lack of athleticism.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s done an amazing job for us, and his addition to the team has definitely brought more speed as well,\u201d Gary Sanchez, who slugged one of four Yankees home runs, said through an interpreter. \u201cHe\u2019s done a little bit of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

This game<\/a> can serve as his Exhibit A. With the Yankees trailing 1-0, Allen led off the third with a shot off the right-field wall, over a leaping Bryce Harper, that he legged into a triple as the ball rolled back toward the infield. A groundout to first base by rookie Estevan Florial plated Allen to knot the game at 1-1.<\/p>\n
