Giancarlo Stanton joins Babe Ruth on epic playoff list to lift Yankees over Royals in ALDS Game 3

Giancarlo Stanton has established himself as one of the New York Yankees' best postseason hitters in modern history. With a game-winning home run against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night, Stanton helped lift the Yankees to a 2-1 series lead in American League Division Series. 

Stanton also lifted himself into an exclusive postseason hitting category with the franchise's most iconic player. Stanton's solo home run in the eighth inning that gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead marked his 12th career postseason homer, in just 108 at-bats.
