With the Yankees locked in a pitchers’ duel with the Nationals for the second consecutive game, each swing of the bat was more important than the last on Sunday. None, however, mattered more than Giancarlo Stanton’s in the bottom of the ninth.

After leadoff walks drawn by Tyler Wade and pinch-hitter Aaron Judge, then a DJ LeMahieu groundout to put runners on the corners, Stanton hit a sharp grounder through the left side of the infield, delivering a 3-2 walk-off win in the series finale on Sunday at Yankee Stadium.
