Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton is officially the Mets' worst night mare. Stanton drilled two home runs on Saturday, as the Marlins won 9-5.
Stanton first launched a solo shot off Jonathon Niese in the second inning to put the Fish up 3-1. Then, with the Marlins already up 7-5, Stanton added another solo home run, 466-foot bomb in the ninth inning. That's the longest home run in the history of CitiField.
"Since I've started here, they've brought the fences in a couple of times," Stanton said, per MLB.com. "That's always good for us. I feel like it plays fair, except for left field. It's a little close. But the rest plays a little fair."
Overall, Stanton went 2 for 4 with the two bombs, as his batting average now rests at .232 for the season.
Stanton now has 15 longballs this year, with five of them coming against the Mets.
