Miami Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton has pretty much been unstoppable throughout August.
The 27-year-old entered Monday night’s game against the San Francisco Giants with a .420 batting average over his past 12 games on top of 9 home runs and 17 RBI in that span, and he has managed to hit home runs in each of his last four games.
Well, in his first at-bat of the game he made it 10 home runs in 11 games and five straight games with a dinger.
The home run is Stanton’s league-leading 43rd of the season, a career-best for the four-time All-Star, and it also happens to be a new Miami Marlins franchise record for most home runs in a single season.
Stanton now leads Aaron Judge by eight home runs for the MLB lead and it he could very well reach the 60-home run mark before the season comes to an end.
