While Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton and Mother Nature provided the Friday night fireworks, the Rockies fizzled again at Coors Field.

Stanton launched a 478-foot solo homer in the third inning off Colorado starter Eddie Butler, and the Marlins won 6-2, despite another torrential downpour that soaked LoDo as fans took cover from the wicked lightning.

The rain and hail turned the stairs at Coors Field into rivers and the outfield into a series of lakes.

The game resumed in the eighth inning at 10:45 p.m. after a 1-hour, 55-minute delay.
