The New York Yankees secured an 8-4 victory against the Texas Rangers, highlighted by Giancarlo Stanton's 25th home run of the season, marking his 10th career achievement of 25 or more homers. Gerrit Cole delivered a strong performance, allowing only one run over six innings before exiting with a calf cramp, while Gleyber Torres contributed significantly with three hits and two RBIs. The Yankees' five-run rally in the sixth inning was pivotal, with key hits from Torres, Aaron Judge, and Anthony Rizzo. Despite the win, the Yankees are still battling for the top position in the American League East, maintaining a half-game lead over the Baltimore Orioles. The Rangers, struggling of late, suffered only their second loss in the last seven games. Stanton emphasized the importance of team success over personal milestones, expressing pride in contributing to the Yankees' efforts.
