Stanton blasts two-run home run in win
Giancarlo Stanton blasted a two-run homer in the Yankees’ victory over the Padres on Friday. Stanton has homered in back-to-back contests, and this one was a two-run blast off Yu Darvish — one of four homers the right-hander gave up — to score Alex Verdugo in the third. Stanton is now up to 13 homers, 29 RBI and an .816 OPS over 171 at-bats.
Yankees blast Darvish
Yu Darvish gave up seven runs while throwing 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Yankees on Friday. Darvish did strike out five, but he allowed five hits, and four of those were homers. The right-hander gave up three roundtrippers in the third to the power-hitting trio of Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton. Darvish has been outstanding for the majority of 2024. This was anything but. He sees his 2.08 ERA jump to 3.04, and he’ll try and lower that mark Wednesday against the Marlins.
