BOSTON -- Slugger Giancarlo Stanton might have saved the New York Yankees' season with one massive swing Saturday night.
With the Yankees down 2-1 in the eighth inning to the archrival Boston Red Sox and the bases loaded with two outs, Stanton delivered a 452-foot blast over the Green Monster to secure New York's 5-3 comeback win, stunning the sellout crowd at Fenway Park.
Stanton hunted a first-pitch 94 mph fastball by Darwinzon Hernandez for the second go-ahead grand slam by a Yankee in the 8th inning or later against Boston in the last 50 years (Mark Teixeira in 2016).
