Gary Sanchez's Lack of Hustle Costs Yankees Potential Tying Run in Loss vs. Rays

The New York Yankees would have tied Monday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in the top of the ninth inning had catcher Gary Sanchez hustled out of the box on his game-ending ground ball.

As YES Network shared, Sanchez hit a ground ball with the bases loaded and two outs and the Yankees trailing 7-6 in the final frame at Tropicana Field. It appeared as if Tampa Bay would earn the force out at second, but the shifted defense allowed the runner to beat the throw before Willy Adames fired to first to retire the slow-running Sanchez.
