SINGLE SOURCE

The web search results mention Stanton's performance (e.g., 'finished the game 2-for-4, recording his third mul' from one source, and 'solo home run over the Green Monster' from another), but none of the provided evidence snippets fully corroborate the specific details—'2-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run double, both off Red Sox lefty Connelly Early'—across multiple independent sources.
