High fly ball, deep left field. Back goes Melendez. Forget about it, it's gone! In large part, this game has

belonged to Giancarlo Stanton, and he gives the Yankees the lead, 3-2, in the eighth.

[Applause] [Music] You know, Bob, in the postseason, when it's so hard to know who to count on in the

postseason, Stanton is a guy you can always count on to take good at-bats and to provide big

hits. None bigger than that home run there, beyond the fence, beyond the bullpen, and the Yankees go up 3-2 in the

eighth. One more look. Just know when he connects, it's going to be out of the ballpark.

As I said, enjoy the moment. He said, "Oh, I bet you. I bet you I'm about to." And Stanton

drives one deep left-center. He'll watch this one fly—a booming home run! Giancarlo [Applause]

Stanton! 5-1 Yankees! Absolute Scud missile off the bat of Stanton! Comes with two outs in the

seventh inning. His second postseason home run, guys. 13 home runs now in 32 postseason games. Aaron Boone today

talking to us; we asked him what he does, and he said he's got a way to shut

down the noise on the outside and really focus. 114 off the bat, I tell you. 439 ft. ball. Almost went over the pen. I mean, but when the ball comes off his bat, it's like nobody else in baseball.

Right in the ninth, and they gave up a home run to Corey Carpenter. That ball's hit well, deep center field, way back there.

Giancarlo Stanton, a home run! Judge and Stanton go back-to-back, and the New York Yankees have grabbed the

Leadoff, oh my goodness! The two giants in the Yankees lineup go back-to-back with two outs.

Each had two strikes. It's 4-3 Yankees. Well, here's that one to Stanton.

I mean, just a hanging slider. And you talked about it; you sped up his bat. He's getting ready for 99 to 100 right there.

Instead, he got 92, and look how on time he is! I mean, just the muscle flexing on that pitch, sending it out...

deepest part of the ballpark. I mean, they can make some ballparks look [Applause] tiny!

One and two the count. So, to third, Judge at second, Stanton. The high fly ball, deep in left field, up into...

the bleachers! John Carlos Stanton connects! A three-run blast! What a big spot for Stanton to come...

through! 6-2 Yankees, and Stanton's magical postseason continues. You just said, 'Can you go...

higher?' That's right, and he threw it right there in the middle. We talk about it; there are holes in Stanton's swing.

There's no doubt; ways you can get him out. But when you miss, he can make you pay, almost more...

than anybody in the game. You fight so hard to get ahead of him, which he did, and on a 1-0 count, he...

threw one over the [Applause] plate! Towering home run by Stanton! John Carlos Stanton with his ninth hit...

this postseason; four of them home runs. And the clutch factor is high. He is the man! 0-2 to 3-2, two outs in the...

inning. See what the batter has in mind here. And a high drive in left-center field! Stanton is going to watch another one fly...

Are you kidding me?! John Carlos Stanton! Another one! The game is tied at 6! Stanton...

delivers his fourth home run of this Championship Series, now third [Applause]. Time after time, John Carlos Stanton

delivering in the clutch, a two-out, two-strike, two-run home run in the sixth inning, and it's a brand

new ballgame here in Game Five. 117.5 off the bat, a 3-2 slider. We talked about it; he had thrown three

outside the zone, one more, one to kill you, and the man of the hour tied it up here in Game

[Music] Five. Tie run at first, go-ahead run at the plate.  SC golf's one way back there,

scraping the sky and giving the Yankees the lead. [Applause] You deliver this time of year, you can

rewrite your whole story. As long as you've got the bat in your hands, you can write your story, and Stanton continues

to write one of a spectacular October for the Yankees. Obviously for him, good at-bats last night. Bang, there's

another one. John Carlos Stanton, who needs me though? Aaron Judge had the call, opposite-field home run to open

up the [Applause] third with his seventh home run of the postseason. He's so strong, and a fast

ball; he can wait so long, and a right field that isn't far enough; he can reach anywhere in the ballpark, and he has

risen to the occasion in the postseason. I believe that's 18 home runs now in the postseason.
