Giancarlo Stanton gives Yankees lead with HR off Jack Flaherty

With one swing, the Yankees have taken the lead in Game 1 of the World Series.

Giancarlo Stanton stays red hot this postseason, as the American League Championship Series MVP launched a towering, 412-foot two-run home run to left field in the top of the sixth inning to give the Bronx Bombers a 2-1 lead in the Fall Classic.

The long ball by the Yankees designated hitter is reportedly the hardest hit batted ball in the World Series during the StatCast era (2015).

Stanton has now homered in four straight games dating back to Game 3 of the ALCS and his last five hits have all been home runs.

Now, the Yankees, look to add to their lead and steal Game 1 against the Dodgers in L.A.
