Yankees’ Jasson Dominguez haunted by one pitch despite two-homer day
NY Post
Jasson Domínguez hit the first leadoff homer of his career Friday and then added another go-ahead homer in the fifth as his hot streak at the plate continued.
But as has become customary with the Yankees recently, it wasn’t enough to result in a victory as the Yankees lost their fifth straight game, 6-5, to the Mets at Citi Field on Friday.
And afterward, it wasn’t so much the pair of opposite-field home runs Domínguez hit from the left side that were on his mind. Instead, it was the 3-1 splitter from Reed Garrett that Domínguez grounded harmlessly to second base to end the game that was on his mind.
“I was thinking about that last pitch,’’ Domínguez said. “I should have waited for another strike, but I swung.”
It was a rare mistake at the plate in recent days for Domínguez, who also walked and stole a base Friday — his third consecutive multi-hit game and fourth in his last five games.
“I love his at-bats,” Aaron Boone said. “He’s getting massive results now and hitting the ball incredibly hard, especially the last two days.”

‘Freak of nature: Zion Williamson’s resurgence could pose a Knicks problem versus motivated Pelicans
Zion Williamson is slimmer and healthier for his trip to MSG.

Almost a year to the day after a goaltender interference call against Kyle Palmieri lost the Islanders a game against the Blue Jackets that started their season’s death spiral, they were on the wrong end of another controversial call against those same Blue Jackets that might have had the same effect.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
