“#Yankees hope late homer will jump-start Giancarlo Stanton<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n As the rest of the Yankees clobbered Cleveland pitching throughout their lopsided victory on Tuesday night, Giancarlo Stanton only contributed outs \u2014 and strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Hitless going into the top of the ninth, Stanton had one final opportunity to get himself going \u2014 and he may have done so.<\/p>\n

Stanton capp<\/a>ed off a 12-3 win with a 443-foot solo blast to left-center off Cam Hill. It was hardly an important blow or a dramatic shot, since the Yankees already led by eight runs, but the slumping Stanton will no doubt take it.<\/p>\n

Whether the home run, measured at 116.1 mph off the bat, is a sign of better things to come or just another garbage-time blast is still to be determined.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked about that and hope it\u2019s a big swing for him,\u2019\u2019 Aaron Boone said. \u201cThat ball, if you didn\u2019t know who hit it and just watched the flight of the ball, there\u2019s no mistaking \u2014 only Giancarlo hits a ball like that. He got a good swing off.\u201d<\/p>\n

His teammates wasted no time roughing up the Indians and their ace, Shane Bieber, pounding him for seven runs in just 4 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings.<\/p>\n

For most of the night, though, Stanton didn\u2019t get the memo.<\/p>\n

As the rest of the lineup pounded Cleveland pitching, the slugger went hitless in his first four at-bats with two strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Boone liked Stanton\u2019s approach for much of the night, even if he had nothing to show for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had good swings, good recognition,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cTo get some results at the end, hopefully that\u2019s something that gets him rolling a bit, too.\u201d <\/p>\n

Especially after his 2020 season was once again impacted by a hamstring injury. <\/p>\n

He was mostly a nonfactor in last year\u2019s postseason as well, after another injury-riddled regular season.<\/p>\n

The Yankees had hoped both Stanton and Judge could overcome their leg injuries and regain their form in time for the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Judge did so immedia<\/a>tely, delivering a two-run homer just two batters into the game Tuesday.<\/p>\n
