Stanton wastes no time, hits homer 30 in 1st

NEW YORK -- Giancarlo Stanton's red-hot bat appears to show no signs of cooling down.

After getting the offense started on Saturday with a blast in the first inning, Stanton followed suit in the first inning on Sunday at Yankee Stadium, connecting off the Rangers' Martin Perez for a 112.2-mph laser, according to Statcast™, to the seats in left-center to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead.
