WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In a night that will be etched in the annals of baseball history, Jasson Dominguez delivered a performance for the ages, homering three times for the New York Yankees on Friday night against the Athletics. This game marked the most prolific of his burgeoning career, leaving fans and analysts alike in awe.
Dominguez, who entered the game with a modest tally of two homers this season and eight in 191 career at-bats since his major league debut in 2023, shattered expectations.
