The New York Yankees have now lost eight of nine games to the Boston Red Sox this season after falling 12-1 at home to their arch-rivals on Saturday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone discussed Stanton's mentality after Wednesday's game, via YES Network. "He's an animal," he said. Stanton is now 4-for-7 with two homers, six RBI, two walks, and two runs scored as a pinch-hitter this season. The five-time All-Star is also hitting .333 with 15 homers and 37 RBI since July 1.

Stanton helped the Yankees to a 6-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night. "He was locked in, dialed in," Aaron Judge said.
