Stanton hits 50th homer
Print Edition
Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton belted his 50th home run of the season on Sunday, becoming the 28th player in Major League Baseball history to reach the milestone in a single campaign. Stanton鈥檚 two-run blast off Padres pitcher Clayton Richard in the eighth inning gave Miami a 4-2 lead, and it went on to win the game 6-2. Stanton鈥檚 feat had fans at Marlins Park chanting 鈥淢VP! MVP!鈥 as he became the first National League player since Prince Fielder in 2007 to hit as many as 50 home runs. Stanton is the sixth major leaguer to hit his 50th home run before the end of August, joining Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Luis Gonzalez and Roger Maris. Bonds, whose feats have been clouded by his links to performance enhancing drugs, holds the single-season record of 73, set in 2001. With 10 more homers he would become just the sixth player in MLB history to reach 60 in a season. Seventeen of his home runs have come in August alone, and with one more he鈥檒l equal the record for the month, Rudy York鈥檚 18 established in 1937.
