NEW YORK -- Giancarlo Stanton brought the figurative thunder at Yankee Stadium on Friday night. Then actual rain followed.
Showers began pouring down a batter after Stanton's 435-foot blast in the seventh inning, halting play that would never resume. After waiting 85 minutes for the weather to subside, the Yankees were awarded a rain-shorted 7-5 win over the Blue Jays, snapping a two-game skid and capping a night they began fighting from behind.
Down, 4-0, after a rough top of the first from Lance Lynn, the Yankees bounced back.
