Giancarlo Stanton had time to anticipate it. The Yankees slugger had gone 14 games without a home run, sitting on 249 career homers.

In his first at-bat Wednesday night, Stanton ended the slump and crushed his milestone 350th home run in the first inning.

Stanton’s 350th dinger was a 417-foot shot to right-center field that made him the 97th player in major league baseball to reach the 350-mark. The homer, off Orioles right-hander Tyler Wells, also gave the Yankees’ a 2-0 lead.

Stanton hit his 350th homer in his 1,341st game, making him the seventh fastest player to reach the mark.

The 14 games without a home run was one shy of his longest stretch without a home run with the Yankees.

The 32-year-old began the season on fire, hitting homers in the first two games of the season. He then went 57 plate appearances without a homer. He hit .218/.228/.236 with six RBI and a double in that span.
