MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Slugger Giancarlo Stanton is on the kind of streak not often seen throughout the history of baseball.
Stanton set a Miami Marlins franchise record after homering in his sixth straight game on Tuesday, the latest in his league-leading 44 dingers this season.
The Marlins will hope Stanton can keep the good times rolling as they battle the San Francisco Giants in the rubber match of their three-game set.
During his last six games, Stanton is hitting 11-for-24 with 11 RBIs and eight runs scored to go with the six longballs.
He’s cracked 11 homers in his last 12 games and has 23 over the past 35 games.
