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.
“We got a heads-up from the umpires right before it was coming that it was going to get real windy and nasty,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
