    Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen was more excited about Giancarlo Stanton's glove than his bat.

    The right fielder had the biggest hit of the game -- a two-run homer, but what really impressed Guillen was his diving catch that saved at least two runs in Miami's 8-4 win over Atlanta on Wednesday night.

    With Miami leading 3-1 in the fourth, the Braves had runners on second and third with two outs after singles by Dan Uggla and Brian McCann. Jason Heyward hit a drive that looked like a sure two-run double before Stanton, running at full speed toward the foul line, made a diving catch. Stanton landed about one foot in front of the warning track.
