Home run, Yastrzemski; Carl’s grandson Mike goes deep for Giants in Fenway debut
Tuesday’s Giants-Red Sox game provided a multigenerational moment of drama at Fenway Park. Mike Yastrzemski, the grandson of Red Sox Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, took the field at Fenway for the first time in a Major League uniform.
And in the fourth inning, he blasted a home run to center field.

Earlier in the evening, Yastrzemski received an ovation from the Fenway crowd when he was announced to lead off the game.
