Giancarlo Stanton hit his 55th home run on Monday as he hit third in the batting order for the first time this season.

Stanton had gone six games and 29 at-bats without a home run, which qualified as a drought for the slugger. It was the most games Stanton had gone without hitting a home run since a 14-game span from May 9 to 24.

His 55 home runs are the most since Ryan Howard hit 58 in 2006.

The Miami Marlins have 12 games remaining this season.
