MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton was inches away from robbing the Brewers’ Domingo Santana of a home run in the second inning.
The ball slipped from his glove and over the fence for a tying two-run homer, though, and Milwaukee added five more runs in the inning to jumpstart an 8-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday.
“If I catch it, the game is completely different, and we can probably have a chance to win,” Stanton said. “I had it. Then I didn’t have it. Then the fans had it.”
Santana’s drive came off Tom Koehler (1-3).
