In one week from today, the Yankees will take on the Oakland A’s in the American League Wild Card Game. A number of variables remain unclear for the Bombers, such as which pitcher will start or where the game will take place. One thing that has been made abundantly clear by the team, however, is that Gary Sanchez will be behind the plate.
While this move has drawn scrutiny from fans and observers alike, Sanchez answered by having one of his best games of 2018 last night against the Rays. He went 2-4 with a single, a home run, and a walk for good measure.
