In the first two games of the series, the Mets walked Stanton five times, including three free passes on Saturday night in New York's 8-1 win.
Along with boosting his Major League-leading home run total to 45, Stanton has connected 19 times since the All-Star break, increasing his Marlins' franchise record. It also marked his 12th homer in August, and 21st of his career at Citi Field, the most by a Mets opponent. He now has four career home runs off deGrom, who gave up five runs in 6 1/3 innings with eight strikeouts.
In Stanton's last 39 games, he has 24 home runs and 47 RBIs.
