NEW YORK -- Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez became the fastest player in Major League history to reach 11 home runs, doing so in his 23rd career game on Saturday against the Orioles at Yankee Stadium.
Sanchez connected for an opposite-field blast off Baltimore starter Dylan Bundy in the fourth inning, clearing the wall in right-center field and giving the Yankees a 5-2 lead at the time. Statcast™ measured Sanchez's homer at 370 feet.
The 23-year-old was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 3 and has been powering the Yankees back into the postseason chase on both sides of the ball.
