The incredible home streak off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton came to an end. After homering in six consecutive games, the Giants kept him in the yard on Wednesday afternoon. But there was plenty of traffic on the base paths to net a Miami Marlins win.
Perhaps most encouraging was the way the Marlins won the series finale against the Giants. Riding the wave of Stanton dingers, a team effort drove an 8-1 victory on Wednesday. The win, coupled with a sweep of the Colorado Rockies combine for a 5-1 record on their return home.
