It was the\u00a0Yankees&#8217; big guns\u00a0that drove in their five runs; Aaron Judge drove in a run with a sacrifice fly while Juan Soto and\u00a0Giancarlo Stanton both went yard to give New York a lead that they would not relinquish.<\/p>\n<p>Stanton&#8217;s blast, in particular, was an outright moonshot. He punished a 93-mph fastball from Erik Sabrowski that was hanging in the middle of the strike zone and launched it to left-center field for\u00a0a 439-foot blast\u00a0to give the Yankees a 5-1 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLBONFOX\/status\/1846009082752205072<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>This home run was Stanton&#8217;s 13th in 32 playoff games for the Yankees, per Katie Sharp of Talkin&#8217; Yanks, which puts the veteran slugger in esteemed franchise history. According to Sharp, no other Yankees player has hit 13 long balls in any 32-playoff game span apart from Babe Ruth and Stanton, which is an extremely exclusive club to say the least.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Giancarlo Stanton is an October monster for the Yankees<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Yankees-designated-hitter-Giancarlo-Stanton-27-hits-a-solo-home-run.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">Giancarlo Stanton may have had to wait until his ninth professional season before getting a taste of playoff baseball, but it has been well worth the wait for him. After hitting another home run during the Yankees&#8217; 5-2 Game 1 win over the Guardians, Stanton&#8217;s career playoff OPS is now\u00a0up to 1.009\u00a0\u2014 dwarfing his regular-season production over the same span (.806 OPS since 2018).<\/p>\n<p>Stanton&#8217;s has battled injury problems over the past few years, and his production has fallen off a cliff relative to his heyday. He still has plenty of raw power at his disposal, but he has been very inconsistent for the Yankees amid his decline.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Stanton appears to reserve his best for when the lights are at their brightest. He has been on a heater for the Yankees in this year&#8217;s playoffs, and it doesn&#8217;t seem like he&#8217;s on the cusp of slowing down anytime soon.\u00a0His October emergence\u00a0has made getting through the Yankees&#8217; heart of the order an even more daunting task.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giancarlo Stanton is stepping up for the Yankees under the postseason&#8217;s bright lights.
