Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton leaves in 6th inning against Astros because of tightness in right leg
Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton left New York’s game Friday night against the Houston Astros in the sixth inning because of tightness in his lower leg.
Stanton hit an RBI single in the sixth but left three batters left when he was unable to score from second on a single by J.C Escarra to the left field wall.
Stanton rounded third on the hit but held up.
After talking to the trainer, Stanton exited and was replaced by Randal Grichuk.
Stanton is hitting .256 this season with three home runs and 14 RBIs in 24 games.
