NEW YORK — Giancarlo Stanton's latest milestone homer resembled so many that came before.
A line-drive rocket off his bat.
Stanton smashed his 400th home run, Gerrit Cole burnished his Cy Young Award credentials and the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 5-1 on Tuesday night.
DJ LeMahieu hit his second leadoff homer in four games and Gleyber Torres had a two-run double for the last-place Yankees (69-69), who have won four straight and seven of eight to get back to .500 for the first time since Aug. 15.
"I'm glad that we're playing some good baseball," Cole said.
