TORONTO — Aaron Boone’s belief Gary Sanchez will emerge from an extended hitting funk goes deeper than the manager’s positive way of thinking.
There is no way ignore the slump Sanchez, considered by many to be the team’s most complete hitter, is in after the Yankees beat the Blue Jays 3-0 in 13 innings on Wednesday night at Rogers Centre.
Since May 26, a span of nine games, Sanchez is hitting .081 (3-for-37) after going 1-for-6 with a double on Wednesday night.
“I see him missing pitches he usually does damage with,’’ Boone said of Sanchez, who was the DH against Blue Jays righty Sam Gaviglio while Austin Romine caught Sonny Gray.
