Stanton strikes again

Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton has tied the major league record with his 18th home run in August, bashing his 51st of the season in the first inning against the Washington Nationals. He matched the mark set by Rudy York with the Detroit Tigers in August 1937. Stanton鈥檚 drive on Tuesday off Edwin Jackson landed deep in the left-field stands. He is two shy of tying Sammy Sosa for the most homers in any month. Sosa had 20 in June 1998 and finished with 66 that season.
