Maligned for dubious defense when the New York Yankees first moved him to left field last year, Jasson Domínguez made their best catch of the early season when he robbed Salvador Perez of an extra-base hit in a 4-1 win over the Kansas City Royals.

NEW YORK — The last time Jasson Domínguez had a three-hit game in a Yankees uniform was way back on September 6, 2023, the phenom’s fifth game after being called up to the big leagues for the first time.

Batting right-handed against lefty reliever Angel Zerpa with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth inning, Domínguez revived a quiet offense by lining a three-run double that lifted the Yankees to a 4-2 win over the Royals at the Stadium.
