Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano hit a 3-run walk off home run to win last night’s game 5-2 over the Chicago White Sox. In doing so, he earned himself his team-leading 3rd pie job. Cano has drawn the ire of some over-anxious Yankee fans about his ability to hit with runners in scoring position. While this home run, and his other game winning hits aren’t enough to erase that noise in NY we will say that not many second basemen stroke moon shots like last nights dinger. Of course, with the win and AJ Burnett’s now signature walk off celebration we at BigLeagueScrew have the pictures and play by play of the ambush after the jump.

AJ makes this face pretty much every time. I can picture the sound he makes too.

Yanks, AJ Strike Again in the 9th

The Yankees are starting to make a habit of these walk off victories. After a game tying 2 run home run off the bat of Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano singled, stole 2nd, and was singled in by Melky Cabrera. What followed was what has quickly become a Yankee tradition.

Shortly after the scoring run came come, AJ Burnett crept along the dugout and sought out his next pie victim. The Yankees starting pitcher then delivered the “pie job” to Melky — but he also managed to cream Robinson Cano at the same time. Burnett has made more of a splash in New York for throwing pies than for throwing pitches. Hopefully, that will change soon. One question still remains: will Burnett slam a pie in Jeter’s face when he gets a walk off hit? Only time will tell. With the Yankees penchant for comeback wins, we can only assume AJ will get the opportunity to unload a shaving cream bomb some time in the near future.
