Giancarlo Stanton hit a 451-foot, two-run homer in the sixth inning and drove in five runs for the first time since 2022 to lead the New York Yankees to a 5-1 victory over the Washington Nationals.

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton has been blistering hot lately, and kept it up with five RBI against the Nationals Tuesday.

The longtime Miami Marlin tormented the Nationals for years as a division rival, but his years with the Yankees have seen him face DC just 16 times. Game 17 tonight was a vintage Giancarlo vs. Washington performance: two hulking extra-base hits combining for five RBI.
