Yelich, Stanton Homer In 8th As Marlins Beat Mets 5-4

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins and New York Mets have seen a lot of each other so far this season.

If the early games are any indication, the Washington Nationals are going to have some stiff competition for the NL East crown.

Christian Yelich gave Giancarlo Stanton a playful punch in the arm as they passed each other in the dugout during a comeback celebration, not nearly their hardest hit of the inning.

Yelich and Stanton whacked back-to-back homers to cap a three-run eighth Saturday night, and the Miami Marlins rallied past the New York Mets 5-4.
