GAME RECAP
IMPACT PLAYER
Gary Sanchez, Yankees
Scored in the sixth, hit a two-run homer in the ninth.
BY THE NUMBERS
95 Degrees at first pitch, second-hottest in Target Field history (97 degrees vs. Baltimore on July 16, 2012).
3 Hits by Miguel Sano in the first plate appearance of each of his 45 games played this season.
ON DECK
It's a battle of pitchers signed to long-term contracts, though Gerrit Cole's $324 million deal pays him more in six weeks than Randy Dobnak's $9.25 million total value.
