Armed with high-90s heat and a hammering curveball, as well as efficiency, the Yankees’ rookie retired the first 18 batters he faced.

Giancarlo Stanton hit a pinch-hit, two-run home run in the top of the 10th inning to lift the Yankees to a 6-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night.

New York finished with five home runs Wednesday night and 14 in the series sweep of the Rays, tying a major league record (Reds, 1999) for most homers in a two-game series.
