Yankees snatch victory from marlins in thrilling 9-7 comeback win

In a pulsating finish, Giancarlo Stanton's eighth-inning single propelled the New York Yankees to a 9-7 triumph over the Miami Marlins, capping a stunning comeback.

Stanton's steal and single break the deadlock

Giancarlo Stanton's first base steal since 2000 set the stage for the decisive moment, as he swiped second base in the seventh inning before propelling the Yankees ahead with a go-ahead, two-run single in the eighth off Michael Petersen.

The Yankees' star had earlier drawn three walks, showcasing his patience at the plate. Stanton's clutch hitting, combined with Cody Bellinger's two-run homer in the fifth and a sacrifice fly in the sixth, fueled New York's three-run rally from a 4-0 deficit.

Brett Headrick earned the win with a scoreless eighth inning, while David Bednar sealed the victory with a four-out save. The Yankees, now 4-0, have won four straight after a brief outing from Ryan Weathers, who allowed three runs in 3.2 innings against his former team.
