Giancarlo Stanton’s latest milestone homer resembled so many that came before.
Stanton smashed his 400th home run, Gerrit Cole burnished his Cy Young Award credentials and the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 5-1 on Tuesday night.
Stanton’s 451-foot laser to left-center was caught by a fan with a glove in the front row of the elevated bleachers above Detroit’s bullpen. Stanton said “the guy made a great catch on it” and he met him after the game, giving him and his family some bats and balls in return for the souvenir. The 2017 NL MVP with Miami, Stanton became the 58th big league player to reach 400 home runs and 10th to do it with the Yankees.
“It was just so thick tonight,” Cole said. “The humidity was something else. I unfortunately started that sixth inning with a triple and just really had to go to work from there.”
