Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton continues torrid postseason with towering home run image

Giancarlo Stanton continues his torrid postseason of hitting with the New York Yankees.

After being the hero of Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Kansas City Royals, Stanton picked up right where he left off to begin the American League Championship Series.

With a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning, Stanton decided to get in on the action.

He certainly made his mark, too, as he hit a towering blast that almost cleared the Guardians bullpen in left center.

The solo shot traveled 439 feet and came off Stanton's bat 114.3 miles per hour.

Stanton is now sixth on the Yankees' postseason home runs list.
