Gary Sanchez started his night off with a healthy shot just over the Green Monster in left field. This put some space between the New York Yankees and gave some breathing room to Masahiro Tanaka.

The solo shot was followed up by an Andrew McCutchen RBI later in the inning. Tanaka went five strong innings, passed the baton to Dellin Betances, and then Gary got another chance to add to the Yankee lead.
