Gary Sanchez just demonstrated why a pitchers should throw intentional balls. With men on second and third and none out, the Rays down 3-1 to the Yankees in the eighth, Tampa Bay elects to intentionally walk Gary Sanchez. Sanchez is ready for a mistake, and the pitch comes back to just outside the plate. He smashes the ball to deep centerfield for a sacrifice fly, just missing hitting it right for a home run. He also advances the runner to third, who scores on a subsequent sacrifice fly. The Yankees lead 5-1 thanks to Sanchez being ready for a mistake on the intentional ball. I hope MLB does not change the rule.
