NEW YORK -- About three hours away, in middle-of-nowhere Moosic, Pa., Gary Sanchez mashed a home run in his first at-bat against competent pitching in a month.
The Yankees need Sanchez or whatever lineup reenforcement general manager Brian Cashman can muster up before Friday's non-waiver trade deadline.
A prime example why: Their meek showing in a 6-2 loss to the lowly White Sox at Yankee Stadium on Monday night.
The Yankees managed just two hits against tough lefty Carlos Rodon -- a Gleyber Torres two-run blast and a triple from utility man Ronald Torreyes.
