Phillies outlast Marlins despite another Giancarlo Stanton blast

Giancarlo Stanton homered in his first at-bat for the second consecutive game.

It didn’t translate into a victory this time, however, as the Marlins fell 5-2 to the Phillies during an otherwise unremarkable offensive effort.

A night after he sent a laser shot 441 feet off the auxiliary scoreboard in left field, Stanton crushed a ball 442 feet off the wall just under the Budweiser bar in left center. He hit the homer off Phillies starter Vince Velasquez.

But the Marlins’ bats went quiet and the Phillies took the lead for good when Maikel Franco hit his own solo home run off Dustin McGowan in the eighth.
