Giancarlo Stanton’s push to reach 60 home runs got a boost this week.
On Wednesday afternoon, Stanton hit one of his signature low-line drive laser shots speeding into the Clevelander bar behind left field at Marlins Park for his 56th homer of the season.
By that point, Stanton’s teammates had done enough damage of their own with three more home runs that secured a 9-2 victory and completed a three-game sweep of the visiting Mets.
Stanton, who entered the week having gone six games without a home run, picked up the pace with two in the series and is now back on track to reach the 60-mark.
