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.”
