Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record recently noted that Vivas could be playing his way into a larger role. The lefty-hitting infielder doesn’t have the prospect pedigree of Peraza, but he’s bringing exactly what the Yankees need: contact, poise, and production.

The Yankees broke Sunday's win over the Mets open in the eighth inning, scoring six runs to take the Subway Series rubber match.

Well, you can add Jorbit Vivas to the pantheon of unheralded players to leave an unexpected but indelible mark on the Subway Series.
