Giancarlo Stanton, beloved by Yankees fans after hitting two home runs in his first game in pinstripes, elicited a much darker response in his first game in Yankee Stadium.

Yanks fans booed the slugger after he struck out five times in an 11-4 win against the Rays.

The situation was so noticeable that Yankees play-by-play broadcaster Michael Kay noted, "How about this crowd. That's a little harsh, booing him."

Credit Chris Archer, Austin Pruitt and Sergio Romo with laying the rare and embarrassing platinum sombrero on Stanton. It's the first five-strikeout game of his career.

OK, so Stanton strikes out now and then (his 163 Ks last season tied for 17th in the majors). But he led baseball with 59 home runs, and fans will have plenty more reason to cheer their new outfielder this season.
