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.

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.
