Marlins RF Giancarlo Stanton slugs two home runs on Saturday
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.
