Another Mother’s Day hero is the Marlins’ Giancarlo Stanton, swinging a pink bat in support of breast cancer research, who belts a walk-off grand slam off Manny Acosta of the Mets, capping a 6-run 9th-inning rally as Miami wins, 8 – 4. And he is not the only player to accomplish the feat, as the Reds’ Joey Votto also ends his team’s game with a slam, completing a three-homer game as Cincinnati defeats the Nationals, 9 – 6. It the first time that two games end on a grand slam on the same day since April 10, 1988, when Mo Vaughn and Steve Finley were the hitters.

The Mariners beat the Yankees, 6 – 2, in Andy Pettitte’s return to pinstripes after a one-year retirement. Justin Smoak and Casper Wells hit homers against Pettitte; Kevin Millwood picks up his first win for the M’s. Wells is a dutiful son on Mother’s Day, hitting his long ball after his mom, who drove all the way from Schenectady, NY to the Big Apple to attend the game, asked him to hit a home run to make it memorable.
