PHILADELPHIA (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins could have the most potent offense in the majors right now.
Giancarlo Stanton launched his major league-leading 47th home runs, J.T. Realmuto hit an inside-the-park homer and the Miami Marlins overcame a five-run deficit to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-8 on Thursday.
Stanton led off the third inning with his 14th homer in August, extending his club record for most in one month. He now has seven home runs against the Phillies this season, his most against any one team.
Realmuto tied it at 8 in the sixth inning with a two-run shot, which ricocheted off the wall in left-center and past center fielder Nick Williams.
