WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Ever since Jasson Dominguez made his debut in the majors as a prized 20-year-old prospect, the New York Yankees have been expecting big things.
Dominguez delivered in a big way on Friday night, becoming the youngest player in the rich history of the Yankees franchise to hit three home runs in a single game.
"Tonight was special," Dominguez said. "When I hit the third one, I was telling myself, 'No way. There's no way.'"
Dominguez did it, capping the memorable night with a grand slam in the eighth inning of a 10-2 win to supplant Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio in the Yankees' record book.
