Giancarlo Stanton homered and drove home three runs in a losing effort against the Phillies on Saturday. Stanton finished the night 3-for-4 and also scored two runs. He has now homered in each of his first two games since returning to the lineup after missing nine games with an intercostal strain. The 22-year-old slugger is enjoying an outstanding season, hitting .290/.362/.613 with 36 homers and 85 RBI in just 119 games on the season. He may already be the most prestigious power hitter in the league, and could notch a 50-homer season as early as next year.
