The switch-hitting slugger doubled leading off the bottom of the sixth in a 3-3 ballgame, and scored the go-ahead run just two batters later on Ryan McMahonâs RBI single.
Dominguez helped pad onto that slim advantage two innings later, as he stepped up from the left-side of the plate and crushed a two-run homer to right-center.
He received another AB in the inning after the Yanks batted around, and came through again, this time delivering an RBI double from the right-side of the plate.
The 23-year-old finished the much-needed big day 3-for-5 with all three of his hits going for extra-bases, three runs driven in, and a pair of runs scored.
âWhen you have a game like that and help the team win, itâs awesome,â he said.
Perhaps the most encouraging part of Dominguezâs day was the fact that two of his three hits came from the right-side, which is an area of his game heâs been working to improve.
He hit just .204 with six XBHâs as a righty all of last season, but showed tremendous progress to begin this year in the minors, and thus far has carried that over to the majors.
âIâve been working for a long time on the right-side, so Iâm glad itâs showing off,â he said.
âAs Iâve always said, itâs his natural side,â Aaron Boone added. âWhen you see him hit and take BP, you can see itâs not an unnatural move -- Iâve always said itâs about reps, itâs about experience, but itâs good to see.â
