Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Goes deep twice in victory
Rotowire
Stanton went 2-for-4 with two homers and five RBI in Friday's 8-4 win against Baltimore.
The veteran slugger notched his ninth career performance with five or more RBI, achieving the feat for the second time this season. Stanton also posted his second multi-homer contest of the season, smacking a two-run long ball in first before returning in the third to hit a three-run blast, both coming off Orioles starter Trevor Rogers. The 35-year-old remains a force to be reckoned with when in the lineup, as he's now slashing .267/.342/.584 with 23 homers, 64 RBI and 35 runs scored in 273 plate appearances.
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Hits three-run homer in win
Rotowire
Stanton went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Orioles.
Stanton opened the scoring with a three-run blast off Tomoyuki Sugano in the first inning. While the 35-year-old has gone just 10-for-55 with 28 strikeouts in September, he has still managed four homers and 10 RBI in that span. For the season, he's slashing .268/.341/.575 with 21 home runs, 56 RBI and 33 runs scored across 256 plate appearances.
Stanton isn't starting against Baltimore on Sunday.
Stanton will get at least a partial day of rest after clubbing his 450th career homer in a win Saturday. Aaron Judge is getting a day off his feet as the Yankees' DH on Sunday, while Cody Bellinger is shifting from left field over to right.
Stanton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Stanton will rest up Wednesday after he went 3-for-12 with two RBI and a run while starting each of the last three days. With Stanton on the bench, Aaron Judge will get a day off from playing the outfield but will stick in the lineup at designated hitter.
