Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton's go-ahead solo home run in the sixth inning Sunday against the Pirates stood as the game-winning hit in a 3-2 victory. Stanton homered for the third time in seven games.
Stanton finished 2 for 3 with one double, one walk and two runs. He's batting .478 (11 for 23) with three home runs, five doubles, six RBI, seven runs and seven walks in his last seven games. Stanton was mired in a 10-for-57 slump in his first 16 July games prior to his latest seven-game run.
