Well, nobody can question the resilience they displayed in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-new-yorks-game-3-comeback-snaps-39-game-blue-jays-streak">postseason-extending 9-6 win</a> versus the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 of the American League Division Series.</p><p>Facing a 6-1 deficit in the bottom of the third inning, which could have easily given way to another high-stakes humiliation, the Yankees maintained their composure and started building momentum. Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge notched back-to-back doubles and Giancarlo Stanton hit a sacrifice fly to put the team within three runs of its AL East rival. After New York forced 2020 Cy Young Shane Bieber off the mound, it hammered the up-and-down Blue Jays bullpen.</p><p>Judge decisively exorcised his playoff demons by smashing a game-tying three-run home run off the foul pole in the fourth, continuing what has been a terrific postseason performance thus far for No. 99. Jazz Chisholm Jr. propelled the club to a 7-6 lead in the next inning, courtesy of his own triumphant blast, and the Yankees never looked back. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-aaron-boone-drops-best-player-in-the-game-aaron-judge-declaration-after-game-3-win">A dialed-in superstar</a> and excellent pen are the obvious headliners in this epic mid-game resurgence, but this win goes even deeper.</p><p>With a death certificate for New York’s 2025 season on the verge of being issued, this group exemplified the brand of never-say-die baseball that one needs at this time of year. Stanton <a href="https://x.com/MLBNetwork/status/1975774027395248311" rel="noopener">explained the mindset</a> in the dugout amid the previously bleak circumstances.</p><p>“Just chip away,” the 2017 National League MVP and two-time Silver Slugger told MLB Network’s Lauren Gardner after going 1-for-4 with two RBIs. “As long as we’ve got outs, we’ve got a chance. With our backs against the wall, it’s a great win, and {we} gotta do it tomorrow.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"Just chip away.

Belief is not enough. Players have to rise above the pressure and execute. The Yankees did exactly that, with some help from two costly Toronto errors — Former Yankees player Isiah Kiner-Falefa made one before a Stanton RBI single in the first, and Addison Barger made the second shortly before Judge’s potentially series-altering homer.</p><p>The 2024 AL Pennant winners must continue to make the Blue Jays pay for their mistakes if they are going to send this ALDS back to The Great White North. One debacle does not discount top-seeded Toronto, but the club will now be forced to employ a bullpen outing for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-news-john-schneider-undecided-game-4-pitching-plan-yankees">Wednesday’s Game 4</a>. When a franchise that boasts multiple former MVPs (including Giancarlo Stanton) is given an opening, it can be extremely dangerous.</p><p>Following a 21-inning thumping, we now have a series.

In the Wild Card Series, we lost the first one and played two elimination games. It’s kind of what we did even at the end of the year.”</p><p>The Yankees will have Carlos Rodon start in Game 3, and Cam Schlittler toe the rubber in potential Game 4. The team won both games that each of these pitchers started in the Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox, and will hope for similar results once they return to the Bronx.</p><p>“Obviously it feels like the world’s caving in around you — you lose two games like that in their building, where it doesn’t go right,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “But, all of a sudden, you go out there and win a ballgame on Tuesday, the needle can change.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After a 4-0 rout of the Boston Red Sox, the Pinstripes are on their way to the next round of the 2025 MLB playoffs.

The Yankees hitter was pumped, “pimping” the home run and celebrating it. The only problem? It wasn’t a home run. Stanton quickly realized that the ball was going to land in fair territory.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Giancarlo Stanton thought he hit a home run <a href="https://t.co/eZPa25eQBz">pic.twitter.com/eZPa25eQBz</a></p><p>— Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) <a href="https://twitter.com/JomboyMedia/status/1973910895773565231?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 3, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>Stanton was able to turn the big hit into a double. However, fans were not too happy with Stanton’s hustle. The Yankees hitter was <a href="https://x.com/YankeeReport_/status/1973955252891365797" rel="noopener">quick to accept the criticism</a>, calling his celebration a “boneheaded” move.</p><p>“Thank goodness for that bonehead play that the team was resilient enough and Cam was resilient enough to go out and it didn’t mess up the chemistry or the moment,” Stanton said, per The Yankee Report. “Kids at home, don’t do that. Future opponents, please do that.”</p><p>Stanton’s double almost spelled disaster for the Yankees. After his failed celebration, the next three hitters (Ben Rice, Amed Rosario, and Jazz Chisolm Jr) went down, stranding the designated hitter in scoring position. Thankfully for the Yankees, they were able to stabilize after that mistake and drove in four runs.</p><p>It also helps that their starting pitcher refused to open the door for the Red Sox to upset the Yankees. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-cam-schlittler-credit-new-england-roots-win-hometown-red-sox">Rookie Cam Schlittler was electric in his first playoff start</a>, striking out 12 batters and allowing no runs in eight hard-fought innings to get the win.

The Yankees won Game 2 to keep their season alive as the Red Sox took the opener.</p><p>Ahead of the game, Yankees manager Aaron Boone made a <a href="https://x.com/BryanHoch/status/1973891541606576349" rel="noopener">bold statement</a> about Giancarlo Stanton and his at-bats. Boone also pinpointed a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-aaron-boone-defense-wild-card-win">key reason why the Yankees won Game 2</a>.</p><p>“He looks like G. He just missed a couple. I think he has gotten four or five, like, “Ooh.” I don’t feel like he is off much at all. … I expect him to have an impactful at-bat tonight.”</p><p>Stanton is in the 4-spot once again behind Cody Bellinger. Trent Grisham leads off with Aaron Judge behind him. The hope is that Stanton can connect with a hit. He is 0-8 in two games, while six of his teammates have multiple hits, led by Judge’s four.</p><p>The Yankees are going with Cam Schlitter on the mound. He has been very good this season with a 2.96 ERA in 14 starts. His last two starts of the season came against the Baltimore Orioles, where he pitched a combined 12.1 innings, allowed five hits, and just one earned run. He struck out 15 batters and established himself as a legit option to start a crucial playoff game. The Yankees must have a strong pitching performance as they face a pitcher who is in unfamiliar territory.</p><p>The Red Sox are sending out Connelly Early, who is just 23 years old. Early will have to take on a dangerous Yankees lineup that is capable of putting up runs in a hurry.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With the remainder of Saturday’s matchup (the Yankees currently lead the Baltimore Orioles 3-0 in the fifth inning) and Sunday’s game left, time is running out for the Yankees to catch up to the Toronto Blue Jays. Home runs from captain Aaron Judge, third baseman Ryan McMahon, and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton have powered the Bronx Bombers so far. With his second-inning solo shot, Stanton surpassed Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski on <a href="https://x.com/MLBStats/status/1971993112794091551" rel="noopener">the all-time home runs list</a> with 453, according to the official MLB Stats page on X, formerly Twitter.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Giancarlo Stanton's 453rd career home run breaks a tie with Carl Yastrzemski for 40th place on the all-time home run list. <a href="https://t.co/PS8X93Wj3U">https://t.co/PS8X93Wj3U</a></p><p>— MLB Stats (@MLBStats) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLBStats/status/1971993112794091551?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 27, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“Giancarlo Stanton’s 453rd career home run breaks a tie with Carl Yastrzemski for 40th place on the all-time home run list,” posted the league’s official stats page.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/giancarlo-stantons-1st-inning-hr-helps-yankees-make-mlb-history">Stanton’s 453rd home run</a> was yet another historical moment in the slugger’s career. 500 career home runs certainly remains within reach. Perhaps more than that as well. Even though Stanton is already 35 years old, the Yankees’ strategy of playing him almost exclusively at designated hitter could help him as he continues to age. Although New York has learned that it would be lucky to get over 100 games from Stanton in a season, it’s clear that his power continues to be a major problem for the Yanks’ opponents.
