Six are addressed below. They might seem unlikely or even...

With Stanton struggling mightily, Boone was happy to see the slugger showing patience. Stanton did so again on the next pitch, another slider that dipped below the zone.One more take, on a borderline heater called for a ball, set Stanton up for an RBI single. That provided a welcomed insurance run in the Yankees’ 5-3, series-winning victory over the first-place Rangers.“Hopefully we can build on that,” Boone said of Stanton, who entered Sunday’s game with just six hits and two RBI in his last 55 at-bats. “Obviously, we know when he gets going how much of a problem he is for the opposition.”Stanton agreed that the plate appearance – particularly the pitches he...
