NEW YORK -- Six months ago, the scenes that carried out Thursday night at Yankee Stadium, on the field and in the home clubhouse, would've qualified as unlikely.
Gerrit Cole not just healthy but peaking at the right time six months removed from being shut down with an elbow injury. Giancarlo Stanton not just on the field but smashing baseballs in a game that mattered again six months removed from facing questions coming off the worst season of his career. The two together fueling the New York Yankees' division-clinching 10-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
