Gary SanchezGary Sanchez ’s slump hasn’t let up. He finished the homestand with a hitless afternoon and has just 10 hits in his past 75 at-bats. In that 19-game stretch, Sanchez has three extra-base hits and six walks, while striking out 26 times.
“I don’t feel he’s far off,” Boone said Sunday as the Yankees lost to the Rockies, 8-4. “He’s expanding the strike zone a little bit more than usual. But he’s getting his ‘A’ swing off a lot.”
And the manager remains confident that when Sanchez does break out, it won’t take him long to be productive.
“A hitter like him has got to keep grinding away, because it’ll turn and some people will pay a big price,’’ Boone said.
