Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton struggled to remember a bigger home run from his eight-year career than the two-run shot he hit in the eighth inning of Sunday’s 6-2 win over the Padres. “It’s got to be up there with the best,” Stanton said after becoming the first National League player to hit 50 home runs in a season since Prince Fielder in 2007. Schimpf drove Miami reliever Nick Wittgren's pitch over the wall in right center for his 15th homer of the season.
Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins becomes the newest member of the 50 home run club, reaching the milestone during the Marlins' 6–2 win over the San Diego Padres.
