Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton was hitless in four at-bats Sunday against the Indians, striking out twice. He's fallen into a 1-for-20 slump in his last six games.
"It seems like he’s got hot but just hasn’t been able to sustain it," manager Mike Redmond said, per The Miami Herald. "The times he’s gotten into some funks, they’ve been some sustained funks for more than three or four games. Obviously, we need him, when he hits, he changes our lineup."
Stanton, who hit .462 with three home runs, six doubles and six RBI in an eight-game stretch prior to his recent six-game slide, doesn't seem to concerned about his recent struggles.
"That’s how it’s been all year," Stanton said. "You have your ups and downs. You just got to overcome somehow, eventually."
