VIDEO: Gary Sanchez Gives Yankees Big Lead in Extra Innings With 460-Foot Bomb to the Upper Deck
By Sam Dunn
When the New York Yankees allowed the division rival Rays to tie Thursday's game in the bottom of the ninth inning, they must have feared the worst. Giving frisky Tampa Bay new life in front of their home fans? No es beuno. But leave it to Gary Sanchez to set things straight, who followed up DJ LeMahieu's tiebreaking two-run single with an upper-decker blast that left absolutely no doubt.
Kraken, consider yourself released.
That's El Gary's 24th home run of the year, and was estimated on Statcast to have flown an unreal 460 feet. 460! They should throw in an extra run for dingers that travel that far.
