Sanchez went 2-for-4 with his first home run of the season in Friday's loss to the Orioles.
Sanchez absolutely crushed what would prove to be Ubaldo Jimenez's final pitch of the night to put the Bombers up 5-1 in the fifth inning, though the Yankees would eventually end up squandering the lead in the losing effort. It's still far too early to draw conclusions about this season yet, but Friday's performance will likely serve to at least calm down those worried after the 24-year-old got off to a 1-for-14 start through the club's opening three games.
