MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is on the kind of hot streak rarely seen in the majors.
Stanton, who leads all of baseball with 50 home runs, has been named the National League Player of the Week for the second time during the month of August.
During the seven-day span last week, Stanton had a ridiculous slash line of .448/.500/1.069 while adding five home runs and 11 RBIs.
It’s been a pretty remarkable second half of the season for Stanton, and his success at the plate has gone hand-in-hand with the overall success of the Marlins.
