Watch out, pitchers. Giancarlo Stanton's doing that home run thing again.
The Miami Marlins slugger snapped a six-game home run drought in a big way Monday, launching a 455-foot line-drive blast off the Mets' Matt Harvey for his league-leading 55th homer of 2017.
Stanton is now on pace to finish the season with 59 home runs, according to MLB.com's Patrick Pinak. That would represent the highest single-season total since Ryan Howard slugged 58 for the Phillies in 2006.
