The weather isn’t heating up yet, but Gary Sanchez is. The Yankees will obviously take that tradeoff. All it took was a few games for the slugging catcher to regain his rhythm at the plate.
After blasting his ninth and 10th homers of the season in Friday’s 6-3 victory over the Twins in The Bronx, Sanchez has hit safely in five straight games, and has homered four times. Sanchez produced his first multi-hit game since returning from the injured list on April 24 from a left calf strain, and that included his 429-foot, fifth-inning blast.
“My timing was a little off after the [injured] list,” he said through a translator.
