On a humid summer day at the Stadium, Giancarlo Stanton made certain Gerrit Cole had enough to work with, and indeed he did — the Yankees came out on top over the Cubs, 6-3. Eight hits felt bountiful after recording only two singles last night, and providing six runs for Cole to work with is a recipe for success.
With two outs in the first, Drew Smyly left a fastball up in the zone and Giancarlo Stanton crushed a 447-foot home run at 118.1 mph off the bat. It was a blast that defies description.
