Expectations have been sky high for Giancarlo Stanton since he was acquired from Miami last offseason. In front of a sellout crowd Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium Adidas Filip Forsberg Jersey , the 6-foot-6 slugger had his first huge moment in pinstripes.

Stanton lined a two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the New York Yankees erased a five-run deficit to beat the Seattle Mariners 7-5.

”That ball was absolutely scalded,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.

Gary Sanchez tied the score with a two-run homer in the eighth, and the Yankees went on to complete their largest comeback victory of the year.

Coming off an MVP season in which he led the majors with 59 home runs and 132 RBIs, Stanton has been inconsistent so far with New York, batting .255 with 18 homers.

The 28-year-old slugger has started to heat up lately, though, with four hits Monday night in Washington and a home run in Tuesday’s series opener against Seattle.

Didi Gregorius singled with two outs in the ninth and Stanton hammered an 0-2 breaking ball from reliever Ryan Cook (1-1). Stanton knew it was gone the moment he connected, and he took a little jump at the plate and pumped his arm before tossing his bat aside.

”When you hit a line drive, that’s a base hit to center for me,” Boone said. ”He’s a different animal.”

The laser shot traveled a projected 453 feet for Stanton’s first walk-off homer with the Yankees – his previous one came on April 18, 2014, for the Marlins (also vs. Seattle). He was mobbed by teammates and doused as he crossed the plate, throwing his helmet into the air and smiling from ear to ear.

”I was trying to decide whether I was going to bowl it or throw it up,” Stanton said, acknowledging the homer was his biggest hit for the Yankees. ”I’m part of it now.”

New York is a season-high 27 games above .500 with the majors’ best record at 49-22. The Yankees have won nine of their last 11 against Seattle (46-28) and will try for a three-game sweep Thursday afternoon.

”They’re dangerous,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. ”They made us pay tonight.”

Aroldis Chapman (3-0) pitched a perfect inning for the win. His final pitch was clocked at 104.3 mph Broncos Game Jerseys , his fastest this season.

The Mariners have lost three straight for the first time since April 17-19 against the World Series champion Astros.

Seattle starter Felix Hernandez lasted five innings and threw 95 pitches. He was charged with two runs, one earned, and six hits.

Sanchez drove Alex Colome’s cutter 439 feet off the back wall of the left-center bullpen, knotting the score at 5.

”Excited for two of our big boys to really deliver in a big way tonight,” Boone said.

Dee Gordon had two RBIs for the Mariners. Denard Span and Ryon Healy each drove home a run in the fifth, extending Seattle’s advantage to 5-0.

Yankees rookie Jonathan Loaisiga, making his second major league start in place of injured Masahiro Tanaka, allowed three runs on six hits and two walks in 3 2/3 innings.

New York broke through in the fifth with two outs and runners on first and second. Aaron Judge hit a broken-bat single to left, scoring Miguel Andujar. Aaron Hicks also came home when Span bobbled the ball.

”I knew our offense was going to come through eventually,” said Judge, who had his first three-hit game since May 9.

Gregorius’ sacrifice fly in the seventh made it 5-3.

SAYING GOODBYE

A moment of silence was held before the game for Billy Connors, a three-time Yankees pitching coach and confidant of late owner George Steinbrenner. Connors died Saturday, the team said. He was 76. Connors also served as vice president of player personnel from 1996 to 2012.

TRAINER’S ROOM

He was scheduled to play catch Wednesday. … OF Guillermo Heredia was not in the starting lineup after batting just .122 this month, but entered as a defensive replacement in the seventh. ”G is struggling a bit lately,” Servais said. ”Also, extra left-handed hitter in this ballpark (is) not a bad thing.”

Yankees: OF Brett Gardner (swollen right knee) ran and took batting practice before the game. He has not played since Saturday. ”Feeling optimistic that it’s not going to be a DL thing Mike McGlinchey 49ers Jersey ,” Boone said. … Tanaka (two strained hamstrings) played catch and rode an exercise bike. … Jacoby Ellsbury is in Florida and might be getting close to resuming baseball activities, according to Boone. The outfielder has been sidelined all season by a string of injuries, including a strained right oblique, sore back, sore left hip and plantar fasciitis in his right heel.

UP NEXT

The fieriness of undrafted rookie running back Phillip Lindsay will be put on the backburner.

Not for long, just for now.

The former Colorado standout known as the "Tasmanian Devil " for his relentless motor is all ears these days in the Denver Broncos' meeting room.

"I have to get in where I fit in. Right now, that's learning and listening and being quiet," Lindsay said on the first day of rookie orientation Friday. "My place is to listen to the veterans and coaches and take what they want and establish it on the football field."

That also means lining up wherever the Broncos want him to line up. He's willing to return kickoffs and punts, play special teams, become a situational running back, even line up as a slot receiver.

Anything to make this roster. He's got a solid chance especially given this: At least one rookie college free agent has made the Broncos' active roster out of training camp in 13 of the last 14 years, including Pro Bowl cornerback Chris Harris in 2011.

"I'm just going to showcase everything," Lindsay said.

Being from Denver Authentic Customized Bills Jerseys , Lindsay gets asked all the time by his fellow rookies about his city. He's sort of Denver's first ambassador, along with rookie offensive lineman Sam Jones, who's a sixth-round pick out of Arizona State and also hails from the Mile High City.

"A lot of times they think (Denver) is just cold," Lindsay said. "Now, they get to see it's dry, it's hot. It's beautiful."

It didn't take long for Lindsay to have his first welcome-to-pro-football moment by simply walking into the locker room.

"It's like, 'Dang, it's really here,'" Lindsay said. "Now it's time for me to go and seize the moment."

While with the Buffaloes, Lindsay was an integral piece of the offense as he recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons. The 5-foot-8, 190-pound running back brought an edge and intensity to the backfield, but didn't get selected in the recent draft.

Still, he feels like he landed in a good situation with his hometown team. Lindsay joins a backfield that counts Devontae Booker as its veteran after severing ties with C.J. Anderson. Royce Freeman was drafted in the third round out of Oregon to play a big role as well.

Lindsay and Freeman 鈥?two Pac-12 tailbacks Jones saw plenty of while at Arizona State.

"I'm excited to wear the same jersey as him and Phil now, instead of having them run all over our defense," Jones said. "We can run all over somebody else."

Lindsay impressed the Broncos brass and coaching staff at his pro day by turning in a time of 4.39 seconds in his 40-yard dash. He also shined at the Shrine Game, where he drew some comparisons to New England running back James White.

"But I don't want to be like anybody else Youth Kareem Martin Jersey ," Lindsay said. "I want to be like Phillip Lindsay, establishing myself with special teams and getting into the playbook as a running back. ... I'm happy to be a part of the team and I'm ready to get things going."

NOTES: Jones said he's been learning the playbook under the tutelage of Broncos OL Connor McGovern. "Definitely a leg up going into camp," Jones said. ... WR DaeSean Hamilton of Penn State was wearing big glasses that would've made LB Von Miller proud. "I took notices of the type of glasses that he wears," said Hamilton, a fourth-round selection. "I like really fancy glasses, big glasses." ... David Williams, a seventh-round pick out of Arkansas, said of the wide-open running back competition: "It's actually a great situation. If it was me in college, I'd go to this school 鈥?if it was a school 鈥?because the situation is so good." ... LB Keishawn Bierria, a sixth-round pick from Washington, on learning the playbook: "It's a lot. But that's why we have the vets. We have the vets to lean on. They'll also serve as teachers for us, too. The more time we spend with them and get knowledge from them, it will be a lot easier." ... ILB Josey Jewell, a fourth-round pick out of Iowa, is fond of his nickname The Outlaw. "It happened in college and hopefully it keeps going," Jewell said.
