Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton bashed two homers and finished with four RBI during a 6-4 victory over the Cubs on Sunday. Stanton, who also drew a walk and scored three times, finished 3 for 3 with a two-run homer in the first inning and a solo shot in the eighth.
It was the seventh time in his brief career he has hit multiple homers in a game and gave him three overall -- his season total -- in the past two outings. Stanton, last year's National League slugging leader (.608), waited 65 at-bats before hitting his first homer Saturday.
"It was just a matter of time," manager Mike Redmond said. "This guy is a special player. He's a game-changer."
