Stanton's 3-run Hr Helps Marlins Beat Angels 7-1

(AP) — Giancarlo Stanton upstaged Mike Trout with a three-run homer in the first regular-season showdown between two of baseball's brightest young stars, leading the Miami Marlins to a 7-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. Stanton and Trout entered the final interleague series of the season for both clubs leading their respective leagues in extra-base hits and total bases. Wade LeBlanc (0-1) was charged with six runs and seven hits in 3 1-3 innings as a replacement for Garrett Richards, out for the season because of a torn patellar tendon in his left knee that occurred last Wednesday in Boston. The Marlins opened the scoring with a three-run third and made it 7-0 in the fourth with Stanton's 33rd homer, a line drive to left-center off Cory Rasmus that increased his RBI total to 97. Scioscia said LHP Joe Thatcher is throwing off a mound, but is not quite ready for a minor league rehab assignment and probably won't be activated from the disabled list on Sept.
