West Sacramento, California – In a minor league stadium, some promising young Yankees looked like legitimate major league parts for the present and the future.
Will Warren and Jasson Domínguez chose the same night for the best games of their young career in a competition that could have mean as much for the Yankees 2025 as the 2030 Yankees.
Warren was excellent for 7 ¹ / ₃ strong sleeves, and Domínguez decided to set up what had been his first night of two houses by offering a night of three Homers in an eruption of 10-2 in front of 12,049 in a Sutter Health Park with closed counters, the temporary house of a solid team of year which seemed too initiated on Friday.
During the longest outing of Warren in his career, he only granted four strokes, was accused of a round that marked after his release and struck his way of most of the danger he met, undoubtedly the most encouraging performance of the Yankees season.
You could also say that Domínguez – who caressed a circuit like a left -handed in the third round, another as a right in the seventh and a third as a left -hander in the eighth, a Grand Slam the first month of Sept -Rbi – demonstrating his immense potential could be the best view of the first month of the Yankees.
For Warren, all the glimpses of the promise that the young learning has shown was sewn with a single performance.
He dropped his time almost by an entire race – from 5.65 to 4.75 – and produced as much hope as the year.
“I hope that another step for him and another booster of trust for him,” said manager Aaron Boone about Warren, who had largely struggled for his first seven departures of this campaign, keeping his place of rotation partly because the Yankees simply had no better option. “I think he knows that he can succeed in this league. A night as this evening is validation for this.
“It was really good.”
The DFA of Carlos Carrasco this week may have served as a alarm that the club could no longer afford to receive so little from its rotation.
The 25 -year -old right -hander responded by keeping the imbalance of A while leaving seven, walking only one and total control until granting a success pair in the eighth.
Everything worked for the old best hope by trying to do well on its potential, inducing several puffs on its four runners, its sweeper, its change and its curve.
“I said it was close. I wanted to say that,” said Warren, who was constant by believing that he was about to understand things. “I think it amounts to executing our plan, and sometimes you miss a few centimeters outside, a guy puts himself, it can change a whole game. … Tonight, we have executed our plan.”
Behind Warren, the Yankees (22-16) won a third consecutive match after losing three games in a row, starting a six -game road trip well – and historically, in the case of Domínguez, who became the youngest player in the history of the franchise to explode three circuits in a single match.
“It means a lot,” said Domínguez about his place in records. “Being able to write your name in history is a very good thing.”
During the third round of a match in which Paul Goldschmidt had just cracking with a solo circuit, the left -handed Domínguez made consecutive dingers via Osvaldo Bido and placing it throughout the enclosure in the right center.
For its next round, the Right Domínguez – A statistically worse striker – crushed a hung curve of Hogan Harris in the center to win the Yankees’ advance in the seventh.
In what has become an eighth round of five points and 10 beats, Domínguez put the final touch to the biggest match in the 22 -year -old life.
With Goldschmidt on First, Ben Rice on the second and judge Aaron in third, the Lefty Domínguez obtained a 2-1 lead, right Elvis Alvarado and reversed the radiator for a 387 feet shot to a right center.
“I was just saying to myself:” no question, “said Domínguez, who crushed three circuits on three very different locations on both sides of the plate.
There has never been any doubt about the talent of one of the most publicized perspectives in the history of baseball, making comparisons with Mickey Mantle practically as soon as he signed in adolescence.
There has been a doubt about how he can burst into major leagues, and maybe the moment is now.
“He does everything above average,” said Warren, who saw a lot of Domínguez among minors and majors. “Certainly something special there.”
“Tonight was a very special night I will remember,” said Domínguez.
