Yankees’ Jasson Dominguez addresses his costly blunder vs. Red Sox

Yankees' sloppiness on full display in another series loss vs. Red Sox -  The Athletic

New York Yankees slugger Jasson Dominguez spoke out Saturday after committing a costly error in the team’s weekend contest against the Boston Red Sox.

The Yankees trailed the Red Sox 4-2 in the top of the 7th inning at Fenway Park in Boston, Mass. Dominguez was at second with another runner on first and two outs.

Trent Grisham, who was at the plate, swung and missed to even the count at 2-2. Dominguez seemed to think it was strike three, because he stood perfectly still in between second and third as Red Sox catcher Carlos Narvaez gunned him down.

After the game, Dominguez admitted to reporters that he thought Grisham’s swinging strike ended the inning.

“I have nothing to say,” Dominguez said. “No excuses. I made a mistake.”

The error proved costly for the Yankees late. New York tried to mount a comeback in the ninth inning. Doubles from Paul Goldschmidt and Dominguez scored a run to trim the lead to 4-3. But Austin Wells lined out sharply.

Fittingly enough, Dominguez was standing at second base as Wells made the final out.

Dominguez has had an up-and-down 2025 campaign for New York. The highly touted prospect electrified Yankees fans with a three-homer game in May. But his overall numbers have been middling at best. Through 56 games, Dominguez has batted .241 with 6 home runs and 26 RBIs.
