A foul tip hit Gary Sanchez juuust below the belt, and David Robertson's reaction was perfect
The Yankees held strong in Tuesday night's AL Wild Card Game, beating the Twins, 8-4, thanks in large part to right-hander
In the sixth inning, though, something happened. A foul tip grazed off catcher
From the mound, Robertson reacted as many folks watching the game around the world probably did:
Yep.
Raise your cup to Robertson for his great performance in the game -- and for his reaction after Sanchez took a foul tip to an area below the belt and above the thighs.

Sanchez saw Robertson's reaction as evidence of a deep bond between teammates and assured the world that he's fine.
