WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Jasson Domínguez had a historic night on Friday, hitting three home runs for the New York Yankees against the Athletics. This was the highlight game in the young player’s career.
Dominguez entered the game with only two home runs on the season and eight in 191 at-bats since his major league debut in 2023.
The gardener hit a solo home run in the third inning against Osvaldo Bido, another solo home run against Hogan Harris in the seventh, and closed his night with a grand slam in the eighth inning against Elvis Alvarado.
