New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton was 100% real on how New York can overcome the Red Sox during this weekend's series.

Stanton helped the Yankees to a 6-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night. "He was locked in, dialed in," Aaron Judge said.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone discussed Stanton's mentality after Wednesday's game, via YES Network. "He's an animal," he said. Stanton is now 4-for-7 with two homers, six RBI, two walks, and two runs scored as a pinch-hitter this season. The five-time All-Star is also hitting .333 with 15 homers and 37 RBI since July 1.
