PHOENIX (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins having been scoring a lot of runs lately and are drawing inspiration from different places.
This weekend, the Marlins just don’t want the Arizona Diamondbacks celebrating while they’re still around to see it.
Giancarlo Stanton extended his club record with his 57th home run and set a team mark with his 125th RBI, lifting the Marlins over the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-6 on Saturday night.
The Marlins have now won five of their last seven, averaging 8.5 runs per game over that span.
Arizona could have clinched a playoff spot with a win, but will have to wait another day at least.
