WATCH: Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton crushes 118-mph home run Updated 8:36 PM; CLEVELAND — Watch Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton hit a 118-mph home run to left field to give his team a 4-3 lead over the Indians in the third inning at Progressive Field on Friday night. Introducing Yankees Insider: It was Stanton’s ninth home run of 118 mph or faster since 2015, when MLB’s Statcast started tracking exit velocities. The blast also went 429 feet. It came after Aaron Hicks hit a solo shot and Rougned Odor crushed a two-run bomb in the second inning to erase the 3-0 lead Cleveland built in the first.
