Can you feel that? That upwards surge is the New York Yankees once again shifting the direction of their season on a dime. One monster blow over the Monster by Giancarlo Stanton was enough to propel the Yankees to a 5-3 victory in Fenway, securing a series victory and creating a tie for the top spot in the Wild Card standings.
The blow came late in the game, with the Yankees threatening to blow the game open for the first time in the eighth inning. A walk to Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge with two outs, followed by Anthony Rizzo taking a pitch to his knee set up a bases-loaded jam with the red-hot Stanton due up.
