WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Jasson Dominguez hit three homers and drove in seven runs to lead the New York Yankees to a 10-2 victory over the Athletics on Friday night.
Dominguez and Paul Goldschmidt hit back-to-back solo shots off Osvaldo Bido (2-3) in the third inning to open the scoring. Dominguez then added another solo shot in the seventh against Hogan Harris and a grand slam in the eighth against Elvis Alvarado for his 11th career home run. Dominguez also hit a sacrifice fly.

That gave more than enough support to Will Warren (2-2), who allowed one run in 7 1-3 innings to lead the Yankees to their third straight win.
The A's have lost three straight and fell to 7-12 at their temporary home in California's capital region.
The A's had their second largest crowd of the season at 12,049 with many in attendance cheering for the Yankees and slugger Aaron Judge. Judge hit a double high off the wall in the first and finished 1 for 4 with an intentional walk that drew boos from the crowd.
There was a confusing moment in the fifth inning when Goldschmidt hit a blooper to center with runners on first and second that JJ Bleday trapped. Third-base umpire Tom Hanahan initially ruled it a catch only to have it overturned.
Trent Grisham scored from second on the play but was sent back to third by the umpires, who ruled he wouldn't have scored had the play been called correctly from the start. It proved moot when Dominguez followed with a sacrifice fly.
Dominguez became the youngest Yankee ever with a three-homer game at 22 years, 91 days. The previous youngest was Joe DiMaggio at 22 years, 200 days on June 13, 1937, against the Browns.
Former Yankees pitcher JP Sears (4-2, 2.92) seeks his first career win in his sixth start against his former team. Carlos Rodon (4-3, 2.96) will start for New York.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — An independent counsel has demanded a death sentence for former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on rebellion charges in connection with his short-lived imposition of martial law in December 2024.
The Seoul Central District Court said independent counsel Cho Eun-suk’s team made the request at a hearing Tuesday. Yoon was expected to make remarks there.
Removed from office last April, Yoon faces criminal trials over his martial law debacle and other scandals related to his time in office. Charges that he directed a rebellion are the most significant ones.
The court is expected to deliver a verdict on Yoon in February.
Yoon has maintained that his decree was a desperate yet peaceful attempt to raise public awareness about what he considered the danger of the liberal opposition Democratic Party, which used its legislative majority to obstruct his agenda and complicate state affairs.
Yoon called the opposition-controlled parliament “a den of criminals” and “anti-state forces.” But lawmakers rushed to object to the imposition of martial law in dramatic overnight scenes, and enough of them, including even those within Yoon’s ruling party, managed to enter an assembly hall to vote down the decree.
Yoon’s decree, the first of its kind in more than 40 years in South Korea, brought armed troops into Seoul streets to encircle the assembly and enter election offices. That evoked traumatic memories of dictatorships in the 1970s and 1980s, when military-backed rulers used martial law and other emergency decrees to station soldiers, tanks and armored vehicles in public places to suppress pro-democracy protests.
Yoon’s decree and ensuing power vacuum plunged South Korea into political turmoil, halted the country’s high-level diplomacy and rattled its financial markets.
Yoon’s earlier vows to fight attempts to impeach and arrest him deepened the country’s political divide. In January last year, he became the country’s first sitting president to be detained.
