Overview

• Stanton drove in all five runs with a bases-clearing double in the third inning and a 451-foot, two-run homer in the sixth, marking his first five-RBI game since 2022.
• The 35-year-old is on a torrid second-half run, hitting .366 with 13 home runs and 32 RBIs in 30 games since the All-Star break, and he now has 17 homers and 46 RBIs in 51 games this season.
• With Aaron Judge limited to designated hitter by a right elbow flexor strain, Stanton has taken regular right-field duties and continued to provide elite production at the plate.
• Starter Luis Gil allowed one run over five innings but issued four walks for the third time since returning from a lat strain, underscoring ongoing command concerns.
• Recently activated reliever Fernando Cruz loaded the bases in the sixth before Tim Hill induced a groundout to escape, and the bullpen finished four scoreless innings to secure the 5-1 victory.
