Notes: This is Gary Sanchez's home debut. He had yesterday off after catching three in a row -- including extra innings -- then dealing with the eight-hour bus ride back from Erie. ... This is also my last Thunder game. If you haven't seen thus far, I'm heading to Baseball America starting next Sunday. I'll be taking a week of vacation with friends in Baltimore before that.
