The large videoboard displayed the No. 400 milestone and Stanton — often the target of boos at Yankee Stadium since arriving in 2018 — came out of the dugout for a curtain call, doffing his helmet to the crowd of 31,553. "I didn't have a number in mind when I first started this game, but it's pretty cool to be here now and keep it going," Stanton said.
The six-time All-Star is chasing his first Cy Young Award after finishing second twice and in the top five three other times. He beat Detroit for the second time in a week and improved to 9-1 in 13 career starts against the Tigers, who had won four in a row following a five-game slide.
