With a line of <strong>.340\/.483\/.745<\/strong> this season with runners in scoring position, the slugger responded with a <strong>three-run double<\/strong> at 101.6 mph that hit the left-center field wall.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the sixth inning, with the score at 3-1 and after the bullpen escaped a bases-loaded situation, Stanton punished the Nationals again.

His only damage came in the third inning with an RBI single by <strong>CJ Abrams<\/strong>.\n\nThe bullpen also delivered, with <strong>Fernando Cruz<\/strong> returning from the injured list and striking out a key batter with the bases loaded, while <strong>Tim Hill<\/strong> forced a groundout to third to close out the threat.\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Next commitment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe Yankees, who have won <strong>10 of their last 14 games<\/strong>, will look to secure the series against the Nationals this Wednesday, with <strong>Nestor Cort\u00e9s<\/strong> scheduled to start the second game.\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York.- Giancarlo Stanton once again showed why he is one of the most feared hitters in Major League Baseball.
