MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Marlins’ latest roller coaster of a season has almost reached the finish line.
With most fans waiting to see if Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton will reach 60 home runs, Miami wraps up it’s season with a four-game set against the Atlanta Braves beginning Thursday night in South Florida.
Stanton leads the majors with 57 home runs but has just one in his last six games.
After smacking a ridiculous 18 dingers in August, Stanton has cooled off significantly in September with just 6.
If Stanton can pull off the feat in front of his home fans, he would become just the sixth player to hit 60 home runs in a season.
