Stanton BM495152

The New York Yankees had won eight games in a row going into their April 28, 2018 game in Anaheim against the Angels. They stayed hot, scoring five runs in the first, and another five runs in the second inning, batting around both times. When Giancarlo Stanton led off the top of the sixth inning, the Angels had only made up one run, and the Yankees led 10-1. Stanton hit this Noe Ramirez curve to shortstop and reached base safely for a single, his only hit of the game. This was also his 985th career hit. The next three batters made outs to end the inning before Stanton could score. New York did manage one more run in the game and won 11-1. This was their ninth win in a row and improved their record to 17-9. However, the Yankees still trailed the Red Sox in the standings.
