MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Well, it wasn’t going to go on forever.
Giancarlo Stanton’s homer streak ended Wednesday, but he singled, stole a base and scored in a four-run first inning to help the Miami Marlins beat the San Francisco Giants, 8-1.
Stanton, who had homered in a team-record six consecutive games, didn’t come close to his 45th of the year. He was hit under his left arm by a 91-mph pitch in the second inning, tapped out to the pitcher in the fourth, grounded out to short with the bases loaded to end the fifth and singled in the eighth.
