Yankees’ Jasson Dominguez Makes MLB History with Three-Homer Game, Joins Mantle and Murray

On a crisp Sacramento evening, Jasson Dominguez, the New York Yankees' 22-year-old phenom, etched his name into baseball lore with a jaw-dropping three-home-run performance against the Athletics. This wasn’t just any power display—Dominguez, a switch-hitter, launched homers from both sides of the plate, a feat so rare it’s only been done 20 times in MLB history.

The night began with a left-handed blast in the third inning, a back-to-back shot with Paul Goldschmidt. By the seventh, Dominguez flipped to the right side for a solo homer, and in the eighth, he capped the spectacle with a grand slam from the left. At 22, he’s now the youngest Yankee to hit three homers in a game, joining legends like Mickey Mantle and Eddie Murray among the 15 players to achieve this switch-hitting trifecta.

What makes this night even sweeter for Yankees fans? Dominguez’s right-handed swing, typically his weaker side (.128 average), found its groove. His left-handed prowess (.319, .943 OPS) is no secret, but this game hints at a frighteningly complete hitter emerging. The Yankees cruised to a 10-2 victory, their third straight, as they tighten their grip on the AL East.

Dominguez’s breakout season is living up to the hype that’s followed him since he was 16. With the Athletics hovering at .500, this win wasn’t a gimme, but the Bronx Bombers made it look easy. As they gear up for another clash with the A’s, one thing’s clear: Dominguez is a star on the rise, and the baseball world is taking notice.
