TORONTO (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton felt like a rookie again.
Stanton began his Yankees career in style , hitting the hardest-hit opposite-field home run since Major League Baseball began tracking exit velocity in 2015, adding an RBI double and a second homer into the center-field party deck in the ninth. Stanton’s four RBIs led the Yankees over the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 Thursday and gave Aaron Boone in a win in his first game as a professional manager.
“My biggest challenge, I told myself, was going to be to be calm,” Stanton said.
