Golson's walk-off throw beats Crawford, Rays

Curtis Granderson first learned of Greg Golson’s throwing ability when the outfielder  was warming up in right before the 10th inning of last night’s game against Tampa Bay.

``I was watching the ball go back and forth and I’m like `Goly really has a good arm,’ Granderson said in a post game interview on YES.   

Golson had 53 assists in the minor leagues, but when he threw out Carl Crawford, who tried to tag from second to third on a pop out to right, Golson had his first major league assist.

``The best way to describe it is yes!’’ Golson said of the way he felt when the out call was made to complete the double play and end the game.  ``Everyone running out to right field, that usually doesn’t happen. I was thinking of a walk-off hit. But this was a walk-off throw. Usually when you throw and walk off, it's because you lost.’’
