Through the first game of the series between the Yankees vs. Rangers, Sánchez started the game with a defensive error that moved the runners, but luckily, Néstor Cortés Jr. prevented them from scoring in runs by striking out.
Gary Sanchez let the ball go and the runners moved to third and second with one out, getting closer to scoring thanks to the past ball. In the third inning Gary Sánchez deposited it in left field to open the scoring and put the New York Yankees in the lead.
After that game Sánchez spoke of his defensive mistakes lately:
“Nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, even those who win the Golden Glove. When that happens I try to focus on the next pitch, I block everything to keep doing the job the best I can.” (Fielding)
