Giancarlo Stanton News: Collects 20th homer Thursday

Stanton went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-3 win over Detroit.

Stanton struck out three times Thursday, but he did give the Yankees a 5-1 lead in the third inning with a 429-foot solo homer to left field. It was his 20th home run of the year, which is impressive given that he was on the shelf until mid-June due to tendinitis in both elbows and has played in just 63 games. Stanton has a .941 OPS with 31 runs and 49 RBI across 226 plate appearances this season.
