Baltimore – With runners in the corners and yankees hoping for a rally of two outings during the first round, Giancarlo Stanton led the 450th Home Run of his career on the Camden Yards field wall on the right on Saturday evening.
The three-point jack sparked the bombers attack in a 6-1 victory which coincided with the fourth consecutive defeat of the Blue Jays. With only seven games to play in the regular season, the Yanks are now two games behind Toronto for first place in the American League East.
However, the Jays hold the equality break after reaching 8-5 against the Yankees this season.
While the Yankees, who have the best point of Joker, gained ground in the standings, Stanton took the only possession of 41st Place on the list of home runs of all time. The designated striker was previously tied with Jeff Bagwell and Vladimir Guerrero.
The next list of the list of all time is Carl Yastrzemski, who struck 452 circuits.
Play in your 1,719th Game in a career, Stanton has also become the fifth fastest player to reach 450 circuits. Only Mark McGwire (1,524 games), Babe Ruth (1,585), Alex Rodriguez (1,684) and Harmon Killebrew (1,713) reached the milestone more quickly.
Stanton, who missed the first two months of the season with the tennis elbows, now has 21 dingers this year. He struck those who have his persistent elbow problems requiring regular maintenance, and he added 56 points produced, a .916 OPS and a 150 WRC + while returning to the outside field, a decision made necessary after the Aaron judge underwent a right flexor tension.
Judge, playing right on the ground for the third consecutive day but still limiting its throws, also dominated on Saturday, crushing a third -round solo shot, the starter of the Orioles Tomoyuki Sugano for his 49th Longball. The average of the Slugger 6-7, on the other hand, is up to 0.329, at the top of the major league when it tries to become the highest champion in the stick in the history of baseball.
The judge and Stanton have now dominated the same match 57 times, including the playoffs, passing Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle for the second time in the history of the franchise. Only Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth have united their strengths more often, Homering in the same game 75 times, according to Jeff Quagliata of the yes.
The Yankees padded their advance before the end of the night, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. picked up a simple RBI in the fifth before Trent Grisham followed him the sixth.
Carlos Rodón, meanwhile, continued his excellence race, allowing only one point in seven -rounds. The Lefty also collected four strokes, a walk and eight sticks to the stick on its way to its 17th Win, a new career summit.
Rodón, who has an MPM of 3.04 in total after 32 departures, entered the match on Saturday with a file of 6-2 and an MPM of 2.45 in his last eight departures, as well as a file of 7-3 and an MPM of 2.80 in his last 12 outings.
The only race he authorized on Saturday came on a double of Coby Mayo in the seventh.
