Yankees: Giancarlo Stanton annihilates dramatic grand slam to take the lead

The New York Yankees needed one of their big hitters to come through in the clutch against Darwinzon Hernandez and the rival Boston Red Sox, and slugger Giancarlo Stanton was more than happy to supply the thunder in what turned out to be one of the most dramatic games of the season.

The Yankees had blown several chances to take the lead in this one, as a Rougned Odor fly ball that would’ve been a homer in every other park fell short of the wall, Aaron Judge couldn’t punch a run home against Hansel Robles, and they failed to score after back-to-back Tanner Houck walks.
