Provides clutch home run Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and a run scored Friday as he helped the Yankees to a 6-5 comeback win over the Red Sox.

Impact Sanchez got his first hit of the night on a two-run double to get the Yankees on the board in the seventh. Then, with two outs in the ninth, Sanchez swatted a game-tying solo home run over the Green Monster that would eventually send the game to extra innings. The 27-year-old has recorded consecutive multi-hit games for the first time in 2020 as it appears he may be heating up at the right time with the Yankees fighting for a playoff spot with just nine games remaining.

Notches first multi-hit game Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs scored and two RBI in a 10-7 win over Toronto on Thursday.

Impact Sanchez doubled in a run during the Yankees' seven-run fourth inning and capped the team's offensive onslaught with a solo shot to left field in the seventh. The home run marked New York's 19th in its three-game series against the Blue Jays, establishing a major-league record for a regular-season series of any length. Remarkably, the two-hit effort was a first for Sanchez in 41 games this season. He's still hitting a paltry .145 overall but is building momentum by going 4-for-13 with a pair of homers, six RBI and only one strikeout over his last three starts.
