Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton connected for his first spring home run Wednesday against the Nationals. It was also his first home run since getting hit in the face by a pitch in September.
Stanton doubled in the first inning against Doug Fister, had an RBI single in the third inning that made it 2-0 and tied the score 3-3 when he homered leading off the sixth inning against Casey Janssen.
"Today was a good day, obviously," Stanton said, per the Associated Press.
Stanton is batting .286 (6 for 21) with two doubles, three walks, six RBI and one run in nine spring games.
"He looks great," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "He looks confident. His swings look good."
