NEW YORK -- The last time Giancarlo Stanton stood in front of his locker at Yankee Stadium, he was in a testy mood with the line of questioning after a rough day at the plate.

Two days later, Stanton was in a much better mood, especially when he discussed the poise the young hitters batting behind him are showing.

It was on display Tuesday when the Yankees cruised to a 7-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on a night when rookies Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres hit their ninth and 14th homers, respectively.
