MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The story surrounding the Miami Marlins recent surge has a lot to do with slugger Giancarlo Stanton.
It’s been a remarkable run for Stanton, who was named the National League Player of the Week on Monday.
He’s homered 22 times over his last 34 games and currently leads the majors with 43 on the season.
The Marlins have figured out how to take advantage of Stanton’s hot streak, winning four straight to climb within three games of .500 for the first time since May 4th.
Stanton has handled the San Francisco Giants so far this season, with four home runs in four games, all Miami wins.
