WASHINGTON (CBSMiami) – It seems to be a recurring theme of late.
Giancarlo Stanton hits another home run but the Miami Marlins can’t pull out the victory.
For third time in four games Stanton went deep (he’s actually got four homers during that span after hitting two on Friday) and for the third time in four games the Marlins lost, dropping a 3-2 affair in the series opener against NL East leading Washington.
Stanton now has 37 dingers on the season, tying a career-high that he’s matched twice before.
It’s seem more than likely that Stanton will establish a new high mark this year, shattering the old number by the time the season ends.
