Giancarlo Stanton turned on a 92 mile-per-hour pitch from Shawn Armstrong and sent the ball soaring over the visitors’ bullpen and into Yankee Stadium’s left field bleachers. The small crowd at the Yankees’ first night game of the season buzzed. When the ball came down, it landed in a fan gathering area called Frank’s Red Hot Terrace, 471 feet from home plate, near the newly repopulated deep seats. Stanton’s eighth career grand slam carried the Yankees over Baltimore, 7-0, Monday night and handed the Orioles their first loss this season.
