Jasson Dominguez is said to be from out of this world, which is the same place someone would have had to be from to say two weeks ago — and on most days since then — that the Yankees could get back in the playoff chase.

And yet … Dominguez is real.

The Yankees’ postseason chances? Still miniscule, but Dominguez has at least given them some life in the final month of the season.

In his fifth game as a big leaguer, Dominguez enjoyed a three-hit night, including his first Yankee Stadium home run, which broke a tie and helped the Yankees capture a 4-3 win over the Tigers on Wednesday night.

The Yankees (70-69) have now won eight of their last nine games, and are back above .500 for the first time since Aug. 14.

They have suddenly pulled within 6 ½ games of the final AL wild-card spot, though their potential road to the postseason remains a long shot with 23 games left.

After the Tigers took an early 1-0 lead on a pair of hits in the first inning, Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt settled into a groove.

He retired 16 straight into the seventh inning, when he allowed three singles that forced him out of the game as a 4-1 lead became a 4-3 lead.

Wandy Peralta worked out of Schmidt’s jam in the seventh before creating one of his own doing in the eighth, loading the bases with two outs.

But Greg Weissert, in his first appearance since May, came in from the bullpen to put out the fire by striking out Matt Vierling to end the inning.

The Yankees did not score in the first inning, but a hard line drive from Giancarlo Stanton knocked Detroit starter Matt Manning out of the game.

The 119.5 mph hot shot drilled Manning in the right foot, and while he recovered to record the final out of the inning, he left the field in pain and did not return for the second inning.

That turned the night into a bullpen game for the Tigers, and the Yankees took advantage.

Oswald Peraza got a rally started in the second inning with a two-out single, the first of his three hits on the night.

After Oswaldo Cabrera drew a four-pitch walk, DJ LeMahieu poked a single the other way to drive in Peraza and tie the score at one.

Dominguez then led off the third with his first Yankee Stadium home run to take a 2-1 lead.

The 20-year-old became only the second Yankee to hit three home runs in his first five career games, joining his (briefly) former Triple-A manager, Shelley Duncan.

Reliever Beau Brieske followed that by walking Gleyber Torres and Giancarlo Stanton before Peraza roped a two-out double to the gap to make it 3-1.

In the fourth, Aaron Judge doubled and Dominguez singled, setting the table for Torres, who ripped a single back up the middle for the 4-1 lead.
