Yankees Highlights: Gary Sanchez hits two home runs, James Paxton leaves with injury

The Yankees entered Friday night’s game winless against teams with records over .500. That changed quickly, as the Bombers picked up a 6-3 victory over the Twins. It wasn’t a crisp game by any means, but it still counts as a win.

Winner of the Game

Gary Sanchez continues to build his case as the best hitting catcher in the American League. The Kraken crushed a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning. It traveled 428 feet, with an exit velocity of 111.7 mph.
