Stanton Ties Marlins HR Mark In Win Over Brewers

MILWAUKEE (AP)-- Giancarlo Stanton hit his NL-leading 37th home run of the season, tying the Marlins record for career homers, and Miami beat the reeling Milwaukee Brewers 6-4 on Monday night.

Stanton, who also leads the league with 105 RBIs, matched Dan Uggla's team mark with 154 homers.

Marcell Ozuna and Garrett Jones added back-to-back shots for Miami, which won consecutive games for the first time since a three-game streak from Aug. 16-19.

Milwaukee lost for the 12th time in 13 games.

Brad Penny (2-1) worked a season-high six innings, and the right-hander allowed two earned runs, four hits, three walks and struck out one batter.

Steve Cishek pitched the ninth for his 33rd save.

Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo (8-9) allowed five earned runs and nine hits in 3 2-3 innings.
