NEW YORK -- Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton went parts of 12 games and 40 at-bats gunning for his 300th career homer.
It finally came Thursday night at Yankee Stadium, and his two-run blast off Detroit Tigers left-hander Francisco Liriano was an impressive one.
With the Yankees trailing 1-0, Stanton lined a 3-1 knee-high fastball that was left over the outside corner of the plate into the right-field seats for a no-doubter.
Yankees fans were tough on Stanton early into his first season with the club due to some April struggles, but he got a standing ovation after No.
