There’s nothing like a grand slam to get you out of your slump. And the slump isn’t lost on Stanton, who’s already looking ahead to his next at-bat, as he told Greg Joyce of the New York Post following the win.
“Just got to, over and over again, game after game, continue to have good at-bats,” Stanton told Joyce. “Put all four or five of them together, not just one or two and good things will happen.”
It’s only going to get better for the Yankees, following another positive update on ace Gerrit Cole. The reigning Cy Young winner is expected to start playing catch in the coming days, manager Aaron Boone told Bryan Hoch of the New York Post pregame on April 7.
It’s the next step for Cole, who’s been sidelined since March 16 after being diagnosed with nerve inflammation and edema in his throwing arm. And it means more defense is on the way for the New York Yankees.
Just ask Vlad Guerrero Jr., who raised a finger to the New York Yankees home crowd after hitting a home run in the seventh inning, while the Toronto Blue Jays were trailing by seven.
The commentators, Michael Kay and Paul O’Neill, were perplexed, to say the least.
