    Everyone knows Vernon Wells can hit and play the outfield. Turns out, he has some range at third base, too.

    That's right, third base.

    Wells' reward for scoring the go-ahead run in the ninth was taking the field at the hot corner -- a position he's never played before. He looked rather sharp, too, on his one and only grounder.

    "That was one of the cooler moments of my career," Wells said.

    While his glove work preserved the win, pinch-hitter Brennan Boesch's hustle on an infield single with the bases loaded allowed Wells to score the winning run as the New York Yankees beat the Colorado Rockies 3-2 on Wednesday night.
