MINNEAPOLIS — On June 21, Gary Sanchez was hitting .274 with 23 homers, 52 RBIs, a .982 OPS and headed for the All-Star Game.
Sanchez entered Monday night’s game against the Twins at Target Field batting .237 with 24 homers and 58 RBIs to go with an .834 OPS thanks to a 10-for-75 (.133) slide across 19 games (18 starts) in which he hit one homer, drove in six runs and posted a .417 OPS.
And no matter how many times Aaron Boone is asked about Sanchez’s elongated slide the answer remains the same and doesn’t include health.
