Two Thirty
Mike Jacobs went deep against St. Louis today for his 30th home run of the season. That matched Dan Uggla for the club lead and represents the fourth time the Marlins employeed two players with 30 homers. Hanley Ramirez stands at 29, so this will likely be the first season in which the Marlins produce three 30-HR players.
They only saw one season of thirty or more home runs in their first seven years of existence, 42 by Gary Sheffield in 1996. Since 2000, they've only missed in 2002 and 2006.
The Cardinals lead 2-1 as Albert Pujols hits his 32nd home run. That equals his total from 2007, Albert's career low.
