The home run tear for Miami Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton continued on Tuesday when the slugger connected for No. 51 this season in the first inning against the Washington Nationals.
Per MASN's Mark Zuckerman, Stanton also tied Rudy York's Major League Baseball record with 18 homers in the month of August.
Already having a stellar 2017 season in the first half with a .933 OPS, Stanton has taken his game to another level since the All-Star break.
The 27-year-old came into Tuesday's game with a .294/.387/.666 slash line.
