Giancarlo Stanton Strikes Out Five Times For First Time
7 years agoThe good will of his two home runs on opening day has apparently worn out for first-year New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton. Stanton, who played his first home game at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, struck out five times, drawing boos after his final plate appearance. The 28-year-old had never struck out five times in a game, choosing an incredibly inopportune time to put forth an all-time poor performance. Luckily for him, shortstop Didi Gregorius, who batted right behind him, was the star of the show, lifting him up several times. Since his season opener, the reigning National League MVP only has one hit in 14 plate appearances, striking out eight times.
