Top left: It's been a difficult season for New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton, but perhaps his performance on Saturday will get him going. Entering Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs, Stanton was hitting a paltry .199 on the season. But Stanton put his power on display with a pair of home runs, including a 447-foot solo blast off the facade of Yankee Stadium's upper deck in left field. The Yankees went on to beat the Cubs by a 6-3 score. Photo by USA Today
