SAN FRANCISCO (CBSNewYork/AP) — New York’s “no-name offense” hasn’t just kept the Yankees afloat in the AL East, they’ve been thriving on a diet of base hits and small ball.
Some might say the team’s had a better approach to hitting since New York’s sluggers all went down with injuries. On Saturday, one of those sluggers reminded Yankee fans about what they’ve been missing.
Gary Sánchez spent the past few days tinkering at the plate trying to get his swing right after spending nearly two weeks recovering from a strained left calf. When he connected for one of the longest home runs of his career, Sánchez smacked his hands together emphatically, confident that he’s getting close.
