Miami Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton is known for doing big things on the diamond, and he was at it again on Sunday against the New York Mets.
Getting the game started off with a bang in the top of the first inning, with two men on base, Stanton launched a rocket shot to left-center that was gone the moment it left his bat.

This put the Marlins up by four points over the Mets early. It represented Stanton’s 11th home run and the three runs knocked in took him to 28 RBI on the young season.
