The New York Yankees and reigning World Series champion Washington Nationals welcomed baseball back, and the Yankees came out on top. Baseball fans didn’t feel completely satisfied since the game only went 5.1 innings, but at least meaningful games are back on.
Giancarlo Stanton, who was the first designated hitter in an NL-hosted regular-season game ever, had himself a night, clobbering a 459-foot two-run home run in the first and recording an RBI single in the fifth.
The Giancarlo Stanton haters are sick right now.
