Beach ball at Marlins Park causes umpire to change called strike (VIDEO)

Victor Martinez takes a strike Saturday against the Tigers, but then has it called back after a beach ball lands on the Marlins Park field.

After the umpire signaled a called strike, the distracted Martinez pointed towards the outfield fence where a beach ball was bouncing around. After some conversation between Tigers manager Jim Leyland and the ump, the man-behind-the-plate changes the call to a no pitch.

It's the Miami Marlins. What'd you expect ... a baseball?

Giancarlo Stanton sends home run to another planet — ‘Planet Hoagie’ (VIDEO)

Giancarlo Stanton has hit some long long home runs during his four years with the Marlins.

But Wednesday night in Philadelphia, he sent a baseball to another planet — Planet Hoagie.

With his team trailing 3-1 in the sixth inning, Stanton crushed Evan Martin's 1-1 pitch so far over the left-center field wall it ended up hitting a concession stand with a sign that says "Planet Hoagie" in one of the upper decks of Citizens Bank Park.

Who ordered the No. 6 with mayo and a Rawlings?

ESPN's Home Run Tracker estimated the blast at 463 feet, but watching the video with the naked eye it looks like it was hit twice as far.

If the distance is accurate, Stanton's would be tied for 11th longest homer in the Majors this season.

Stanton has missed time due to injury this season, but now 23 home runs in 106 games. It was the 116th homer of his four-year career.

The 57-98 Marlins won the game 4-3 in 10 innings. 

Watch two Marlin players slide into third base at the same time (VIDEO)

When you check out this odd play during Wednesday's Marlins-Nationals game, you might think you are seeing double. Don't call the optometrist just yet because it's only the Marlins' Logan Morrison and Donovan Solano both sliding into third base at the same time.

Morrison found himself retreating to third base — just as Solano rounded second to join him at the bag. Third baseman Ian Desmond placed a tag on both Marlin players but could only get one out.

Solano was ruled safe on his feet-first slide and managed to score in the next at-bat.

The Marlins may not be good, but they sure are funny.
