Giancarlo Stanton led the way for the New York Yankees in their series-opening win in Chicago against the White Sox. The Yankees won by a score of 15-7 and Stanton had a career-high six RBIs and two home runs.
Giancarlo Stanton was truly in a zone last night. Eric Hubbs of Barstool Sports said it perfectly on his breakout night.
"My god is Stanton in one of those 'f**k you' zones" - @ Eric Hubbs
There's no shaking someone in that zone.
Giancarlo Stanton and Yankees explode for 15 runs in blowout win over White Sox
The New York Yankees defeated the Chicago White Sox by a score of 15 to 7 and improved their record to 23-8 which is the best in all of baseball. The Yankees offense exploded as they have scored a season high in runs in a game so far this season.
The Yankees had five players with at least two hits. Giancarlo Stanton started his monster performance with a two-run home run in the top of the first inning off White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead.
"Don't tell Giancarlo Stanton he's overrated @Starting9" - @ Barstool Sports
Stanton continued his great night with another two-run home run, again off of Dylan Cease.
"Crush Hour." - @ New York Yankees
Stanton ended up getting his last two runs batted in with a line drive single to center field as Aaron Judge and D.J. LeMahieu scored. Stanton spoke on his breakout night after the game ended.
"(Dylan Cease) left them over the plate, he left a few mistakes, so that's my job- I gotta hit mistakes." - @ MLB Network
Not only did Stanton have a monster day at the plate, Aaron Judge continued his MVP season with a 2-for-4 day at the plate with a home run. Judge now leads all of baseball with 11 home runs.
"Pardon me. Are you Aaron Judge, sir?" - @ New York Yankees
The Yankees look to be the best team in baseball right now. Between their starting pitching and potent offense, the team looks poised to win it all for the first time since 2009. Will this finally be the year the Yankees do it?
