Watch: Stanton welcomes Angels to Marlins Park with 460-foot blast
Jasen Vinlove / USA TODAY Sports
Somehow, the Los Angeles Angels had never played in Marlins Park before Friday. Giancarlo Stanton decided to welcome them in the best way he knows how.
The Miami Marlins slugger demolished a 460-foot shot to the batter's eye in the third inning off starter Jesse Chavez for his 12th home run of the young season.
The Angels last visited the Marlins in 2011, though the franchise - known then as the Florida Marlins - played at the old Sun Life Stadium.
