ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Gary Sanchez’s 10th-inning, three-run blast in the Yankees’ 8-4 win over the Rays on Thursday night was measured at 461 feet.

That is the fourth-longest homer by a Yankee this season and Sanchez has three of them.

His homer on June 21 against Houston was measured at 481 feet. On April 27 at San Francisco, Sanchez hit a homer that traveled 467 feet. Luke Voit hit a 470-foot homer May 25 at Kansas City.

Aaron Judge was given a scheduled day off Thursday, with Mike Tauchman starting in right field for the 10th time this season. Judge pinch hit for Tauchman in the 10th and drew a walk.

Others in Aaron Boone’s lineup can expect to open a game on the bench before the Yankees leave Florida after Sunday’s game.

“[I’ll] try to get a handful of our guys a day [off] down here with what makes the most sense matchup-wise,’’ Boone said.

The Yankees are 8-2 against the Rays this season and have won five straight. … Yankees hitters have homered in 33 of the past 34 games.

Mike Ford celebrated his 27th birthday by going 1-for-2. He also scored a run and made two tough catches on pop-ups.

Thursday also was late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner’s birthday. He would have been 89.
