Stanton blasted a 1-0 delivery from Hector Neris deep to left-center field. Not only did the ball clear the decorative pool infamous home run sculpture beyond the outfield wall, it almost left the stadium. The two-run homer that proved to be the game-winner in Miami's 6-4 victory was measured at an estimated 475 feet. 

It was the 10th home run of the season for Stanton, whose career high is 37 in 2012 and 2014.
