MIAMI – Giancarlo Stanton's 40th home run of the season in the sixth inning Friday night sparked the Miami Marlins to a 6-3 win over the Colorado Rockies.
Stanton's 40 long balls leads all of baseball and also leaves him two shy of the Marlins' single season home run record of 42 held by Gary Sheffield.
