MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Apparently a little home cooking is exactly what the slumping Miami Marlins needed.
After spending 10 days on the road while South Florida was pummeled by Hurricane Irma, the Marlins returned home and put up 13 runs on the shell-shocked New York Mets.
Miami slugger Giancarlo Stanton swatted his MLB-leading 55th home run in the win, just his second dinger over the past 12 games and fourth this month.
Stanton and the Fish will look to win consecutive games for the first time since late August when they resume the final series of the season with the Mets Tuesday night at Marlins Park.
