Stat Line Of The Night — 8/8/12 — Giancarlo Stanton
The Miami Marlins rank an abysmal 29th in the league in runs scored this season, but their offense was certainly alive and well during last night’s thrashing of the New York Mets, and it was being led by none other than their slugging right-fielder, Giancarlo Stanton.

Stat Line Of The Night — 5/7/12 — Carlos Zambrano
Through his first four starts of the 2012 MLB season, Carlos Zambrano couldn’t seem to buy a win, as he complied an 0-2 record of his own, while the Miami Marlins went 0-4 over the course of his first four starts.
