Spring roundup: Stanton slams first HR in Yankees uniform

Offseason acquisition Giancarlo Stanton hit his first home run of the spring to help the New York Yankees roll to a 10-3 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday at Tampa, Fla.

Stanton slugged a two-run, fifth-inning blast off Matt Harvey over the fence in right-center field to give the Yankees a 5-1 lead. Stanton hit 59 homers while winning National League MVP honors for the Miami Marlins last season before being dealt to New York.

Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge each had two hits and scored twice for the Yankees. Jose Reyes went 2-for-3 for the Mets.

The right-handed Harvey allowed five runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings while taking the loss.
