NEW YORK -- While the Yankees rolled against David Price and the Red Sox on Wednesday evening, littering the scoreboard with crooked numbers from the second inning on, one of their biggest sluggers was left out of the fun.
Giancarlo Stanton went hitless in Wednesday's 10-1 romp, and after a season of fattening his numbers against Boston pitching, was 0-for-9 with four strikeouts in the first two games of the series. Stanton entered Thursday's series finale batting .130 (12-for-92) with two homers in his last 24 games.
"I think the timing has been just a little bit off," manager Aaron Boone said.
