Stanton's drive to left also put the Marlins in front, 3-2, and it was the right fielder's 21st homer.
According to Statcast™, the home run projected to land 441 feet away from home plate with an exit velocity of 115.8 mph. The exit velocity of 115.8 mph is the fourth hardest-hit home run tracked by Statcast™ this season. Stanton's hardest-hit blast is 116.8 mph, which ranks second among all homers in '16.
Stanton has enjoyed success against the Mets this year, and especially deGrom. On July 6 at Citi Field in New York, Stanton connected twice off deGrom in a 4-2 loss. In that series, he also had a stretch of hitting a home run in four straight at-bats.
At the Home Run Derby, Stanton won in record-setting fashion, belting 61 total.
His homer in the third inning was his first of the second half, and it came in his 29th at-bat since the break.
