Gary Sanchez expressed regret for not running hard enough down the first-base line on a slow developing play to end Monday night's game between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays.

If Sanchez had sprinted out of the batter's box, he might have reached first, allowing Aaron Judge to score the game-tying run.

"I should've run harder," Sanchez said through an interpreter. "I could've done a better job, for sure."

Instead, Sanchez's groundout cemented New York's 7-6 loss. The Yankees are 13-13 since June 22 and six games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East.
