MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Despite dealing with several injuries to key players, the Miami Marlins have been playing some solid baseball of late.
Giancarlo Stanton, Miami’s franchise player, is enjoying his power surge.
Stanton hit his 41st homer and drove in three runs in the Miami Marlins’ 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.
“Fuego,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “Seems like every day you count on him hitting one.”
Stanton went 3 for 4 with two runs scored and is hitting .382 (13 for 34) with eight home runs and 15 RBIs in his last nine games.
