The weather isn’t heating up yet, but Gary Sanchez is. The Yankees will obviously take that tradeoff. All it took was a few games for the slugging catcher to regain his rhythm at the plate.

After blasting his ninth and 10th homers of the season in Friday’s 6-3 victory over the Twins in The Bronx, Sanchez has hit safely in five straight games, and has homered four times. Sanchez produced his first multi-hit game since returning from the injured list on April 24 from a left calf strain, and that included his 429-foot, fifth-inning blast.

“My timing was a little off after the [injured] list,” he said through a translator. “It was a matter of adjustments. I’m trying to stay away from swinging at bad pitches.”

Sanchez launched the fifth-inning drive on a 2-1 Kyle Gibson fastball, hitting it with such authority — it had a 111.7 mph exit velocity — that left fielder Marwin Gonzalez hardly moved, as the Yankees took a 5-1 lead. In the seventh, Sanchez added another bomb, a no-doubter into the left-field bleachers that went 118.3 mph. It marked the 12th multi-homer game of Sanchez’s career, in just 284 games. Only Ralph Kiner reached 12 multi-homer games faster, in 282 games.

When asked which homer felt better, Sanchez smiled and said: “Both.”

“He’s a gifted offensive player. It’s not surprising [what he can do],” manager Aaron Boone said. “When you see the kind of swing he has and the way he’s able to impact the ball, it’s something that he’s certainly capable of. That’s why we expect a lot out of him and demand a lot out of him, because we know he’s capable of those kinds of things. His power has been big for us this year.”

Even with the 11 games he missed, Sanchez is producing at a far higher rate than he did a year ago, more than halfway to the 18 homers he hit last season, when the catcher produced an anemic .186/.291/.406 slash line in only 89 games. With so many of the team’s big bats out, from Aaron Judge to Giancarlo Stanton to Aaron Hicks, the Yankees have needed that production.
