The New York Yankees are on a roll, and their recent victory over the Detroit Tigers is a testament to that. On Tuesday night, the Yankees defeated the Tigers 5-1, with Giancarlo Stanton hitting his 400th career home run in the process.
Stanton’s milestone home run was a two-run shot in the fourth inning, giving the Yankees a 3-1 lead. It was his first home run since returning from the injured list on August 10th. The slugger has been on a tear since then, and his 400th home run was the icing on the cake.
The Yankees were led by starter Cole, who pitched seven strong innings, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out nine. Cole has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season, and his performance against the Tigers was no exception.
The Yankees’ offense was also impressive, as they scored five runs on eight hits. Gleyber Torres and Aaron Judge each had two hits, while Clint Frazier added a solo home run in the sixth inning.
The Yankees have now won five of their last six games, and they look to continue their winning ways as they head into the final stretch of the regular season. With Cole and Stanton leading the way, the Yankees are poised to make a deep playoff run.
