Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton had jokes after injury scare

NEW YORK -- Yankees assistant athletic trainer Tim Lentych was worried about Giancarlo Stanton after the hulking right fielder crashed into the wall.

"'What inning is it? How many outs? What days is it?'" Stanton said Lentych asked him as they stood with manager Aaron Boone on the field.

Then Stanton smiled.

"I didn't know (the answers to) any of them," he said, eliciting laughs out of reporters surrounding his locker following the Yankees' 8-5 win over the Braves at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night.

Stanton had snagged Kurt Suzuki's liner with his outstretched glove while running almost full speed and nailed the wall.
