The Marlins can’t survive on Giancarlo Stanton alone.
Stanton smacked another homer — his major-league leading 36th and third in two nights — on Saturday night. But he was it offensively for the Marlins, who dropped a 7-2 decision to the Braves at SunTrust Park.
Stanton has driven in all five Marlins runs in the first two games of the series. His RBI double in the eighth accounted for the Marlins’ only other run on Saturday.
The rest of the lineup has looked lifeless, mustering only three hits off 42-year-old R.A. Dickey on Friday and four against Mike Foltynewicz on Saturday.
