See? It doesn’t take much to turn Bronx jeers into cheers.
Just an estimated 458-foot laser that becomes a two-run homer.
Giancarlo Stanton heard boos when he struck out five times Tuesday — prompting him to label his performance “awful” and “garbage.” On Wednesday, he was showered with love and cheers in the first inning, when he sent a terrifying liner to left field for his first home run at the Stadium, giving the Yankees a 2-1 lead at the time against the Rays.
Stanton’s third homer of the season victimized Tampa Bay starter Blake Snell, who tried to get Stanton on a 1-2 slider.
