NEW YORK -- Giancarlo Stanton reached a career milestone Tuesday night, hitting his 400th home run as the New York Yankees defeated the Detroit Tigers, 5-1.
Stanton's two-run homer off reliever Jose Cisnero broke a 1-all tie in the sixth inning. The slugger reached 400 homers in 1,520 career games -- fourth-fastest in major league history behind Mark McGwire (1,412), Babe Ruth (1,475) and Alex Rodriguez (1,489). Albert Pujols is fifth at 1,523.
Stanton's 451-foot laser to left-center was caught by a fan with a glove in the front row of the elevated bleachers above Detroit's bullpen.
