Gary Sanchez’s prodigious bat is his best defense
Gary Sanchez belts his second homer of the game in the ninth inning of the Yankees' 8-3 win Saturday night.KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Maybe we should establish a system.
Maybe, when Gary Sanchez has a night like this, we suspend talk of his viability at catcher for, what? Two weeks?
Or do we really need to run a cost-benefit analysis here?
Consider The Kraken released. Sanchez’s monster Saturday night led the Yankees to an 8-3 mauling of the Royals at Kauffman Stadium, and when he wasn’t terrorizing Royals pitching, he guided his own starting pitcher Luis Severino to his seventh win on the season, tying Cleveland’s Corey Kluber for the American League lead.
