Domain in the Lomita<\/strong><\/p>\n\nDominican pitcher Luis Gil also shone on the mound, limiting Washington to a single run in five innings, earning him his eighth win of the season.\n\n

Stanton: Unstoppable in the Second Half<\/h2>\n\nStanton’s performance adds to an impressive streak since the All-Star Game. In 30 games, the outfielder is batting .366 (34 hits in 93 at-bats), with 13 home runs and 32 RBIs, recording an OPS of 1.248, the second-best in the league in the second half, only surpassed by Nick Kurtz of the Athletics (1.285).\n\n

Talkin’ Yanks<\/a><\/p>\n\nManager Aaron Boone commented: “This, I feel \u2014and that’s saying a lot\u2014 may be the best I’ve seen him, in terms of consistency. He’s controlling the strike zone as well as I’ve ever seen him.”\n\n\n

The Yankees’ Attack<\/h2>\n\n\nThe game took a turn for the Yankees in the third inning. Paul Goldschmidt led off with a double, followed by walks to Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger, which set the stage for Stanton. With a .340\/.483\/.745 line this season with runners in scoring position, the slugger responded with a three-run double at 101.6 mph that hit the left-center field wall.\n\nIn the sixth inning, with the score at 3-1, Stanton once again hurt the Nationals. He hit a 112.7 mph rocket that traveled 451 feet and landed in the left field stands, solidifying the victory.\n\nStanton now has 17 home runs and 46 RBIs in just 51 games this season, with an OPS of 1.051.\n\n

Luis Gil, Solid on the Hill<\/h2>\n\nLuis Gil had another quality start, working five innings in which he allowed one run, three hits, and struck out five batters. His only run allowed came in the third inning with an RBI single by CJ Abrams.\n\nThe bullpen also delivered, with Fernando Cruz returning from the injured list and achieving a crucial strikeout with the bases loaded, while Tim Hill forced a groundout to third to close out the threat.\n\n\n

Next Commitment<\/h2>\n\n\nThe Yankees, who have won 10 of their last 14 games, will look to secure the series against the Nationals this Wednesday, with N\u00e9stor Cort\u00e9s scheduled to start the second game.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
