When it comes to baseball analytics, Giancarlo Stanton is a God with the bat and not nearly as godly with his glove.
Baseball’s home run leader made a case in the third inning Tuesday night he might be a little underrated defensively. His leaping catch at the wall to rob Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy of a solo home run was a highlight-reel grab to remember.
Unfortunately, it was the only real highlight of the night for the Marlins, who dropped a 2-1 decision and have now lost eight of their last nine games in a continued free-fall out of the wild card race.
