Sanchez finished 3-for-3 with two walks and two RBI against the A's on Thursday before leaving the game early.
Sanchez collided with Oakland's Chad Pinder at second base to force him from the game, but as the weather has heated up, so has Sanchez, who is now hitting .340 this month with seven home runs and 21 RBI in 56 plate appearances in June. He tied the game twice Thursday, with a double in the seventh and a single in the ninth. Sanchez has brought his slash line to .297/.382/.525 in 165 plate appearances on the season.
