The New York Yankees are level with the Boston Red Sox in the Wild Card standings after an exciting game on Saturday evening. With the Bombers trailing after the 7th, slugger Giancarlo Stanton stepped up to bat with the bases loaded.
Stanton, who had 32 homers on the season before the most crucial moment of the evening occurred, has been on fire as of late. With a .275 average and .514 slugging percentage, Stanton drilled a long-ball over the Green Monster, clearing the highest point, driving in Brett Gardner, Aaron Judge, and Anthony Rizzo.
