What happened

Jasson Domínguez provided another glimpse Sunday of what’s tantalized the Yankees since they signed him as an international free agent nearly seven years ago.

Why it matters

The switch-hitting 23-year-old, who’s been unable to prove he’s a full-time major league player, doubled twice and hit his first homer of the season in an 11-3 win over the Orioles.

Common ground

Starting at DH with Giancarlo Stanton on the IL with a calf injury, Domínguez took advantage of his latest opportunity — something he hasn’t always done.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
