Jasson Domínguez becomes youngest Yankee with three-homer game in win over A’s

Jasson Domínguez made Yankees history.

In Friday night’s 10-2 win over the A’s in West Sacramento, Domínguez became the youngest player in franchise history to hit three home runs in a game, according to MLB stat guru Sarah Langs.

Domínguez is 22 years and 91 days old.

The switch-hitting Domínguez struck a solo home run off of right-handed A’s starter Osvaldo Bido in the third inning; a solo shot against left-hander Hogan Harris in the seventh; and a grand slam off of right-hander Elvis Alvarado in the eighth.

Domínguez also contributed a fifth-inning sacrifice fly as part of a seven-RBI game, which set a career high.

The grand slam was the first of Domínguez’s career, while his home run against Harris marked his first as a right-handed hitter. It was the first multi-homer game of the rookie outfielder’s career.

Domínguez entered Friday with two home runs in 104 at-bats this season. He now has five after Friday’s 3-for-4 performance.

That offense came in support of another rookie in Yankees starter Will Warren, who held the A’s to one run over 7.1 innings with seven strikeouts to pick up his second career victory.
