"Giancarlo Stanton hit a long fly ball that could have given the Yankees a 4-1 lead, but White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman had different ideas. Stanton hit a moon shot to right field, which Tauchman timed perfectly. He leaped to the top of the right-field wall and pulled back Stanton's home-run bid. The third-inning robbery kept the Yankees' lead at 2-1, while a homer for Stanton would have made it 4-1."
"Tauchman was on the Yankees from 2019 until the middle of the 2021 season. He played 141 games for the Bombers across all three outfield positions, posting a .798 OPS. They traded him to the San Francisco Giants, and then Tauchman spent the 2022 season in the Korean league. Since that one-year stint, he spent two years with the Cubs and this one with the White Sox."
"Stanton has been incredible for the Yankees, but was robbed of his 18th home run in his 55th game of the season. Since Aaron Judge's elbow injury, Stanton has been thrust into the field, and his offense has not missed a beat. The Yankees would not be atop the Wild Card standings without Stanton's contributions this season, even with this home run taken away."
The New York Yankees aimed to finish a four-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox after a seven-game winning streak. Giancarlo Stanton hit a deep fly that would have created a 4-1 lead, but White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman timed a leaping grab at the top of the right-field wall to pull back the ball, keeping the score 2-1. Tauchman played for New York from 2019 until mid-2021, appearing in 141 games across all outfield positions with a .798 OPS before playing abroad and for other MLB teams. The White Sox signed Tauchman to a one-year deal; Stanton was denied his 18th homer in his 55th game. The Yankees return home to face the Houston Astros.
