Giancarlo Stanton's late homer separates Yankees in win over Braves | Rapid reaction

NEW YORK -- A day after the Yankees got a taste of their own medicine, Giancarlo Stanton spit it back in the Braves' faces.

Stanton's two-run home run barely squeaked over the right-field wall -- a Yankee Stadium cheap shot, if there ever was one -- to give the Yankees breathing room in the eighth inning of a 8-5 win Tuesday night.

On Monday, the Braves beat the Yankees on an 11th-inning homer that barely made it past the wall and nicked off the tip of 6-foot-8 right fielder Aaron Judge's outstretched glove.

What it means

The win improved the Yankees to 55-28.
