NEW YORK – Heliot Ramos beamed as he skipped around third base, thumping the front of his pinstriped jersey with his right hand. He’ll never forget his first home run as a member of the Yankees. If that swing winds up carrying weight into the postseason, his teammates may remember it just as well. Ramos pounced on a hanging Ranger Suarez curveball for a three-run homer that opened the floodgates in a 16-1 victory over the Red Sox on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium. “It was super emotional,” Ramos said. “I’m an emotional guy; I’m always showing what I’ve got in my heart. It really feels good to produce for this team, to be a part of this team and get things done.” The Yankees took three of four games this weekend to win the season series over Boston, 7-6. That serves as a tiebreaker to determine home-field advantage should the rivals – who faced off in last year’s American League Wild Card Series – meet again in the postseason.
