MIAMI -- Don Mattingly, manager of the Miami Marlins and former New York Yankees hitting star, is one of the few people in the world who truly knows how Giancarlo Stanton feels right now.

Stanton homered for the sixth consecutive game, but Miami blew a seventh-inning lead as the San Francisco Giants rallied for a 9-4 win on Tuesday night at Marlins Park.

"What Giancarlo has been doing is just incredible," said Mattingly, who, along with Ken Griffey Jr. and Dale Long, holds the major league record with homers in eight straight games. "Any time he is up there ... he's right on a lot of balls. He's very dangerous right now."

Stanton leads the majors with 44 homers. He has gone deep 11 times in his past 12 games and 23 times in 35 games. He is on pace to hit 60 homers this year, a milestone reached by only five players in major league history.

However, the Giants (48-73) were able to steal some of Stanton's thunder, evening the three-game series against Miami (57-61). The Marlins had their season-high-tying, four-game win streak snapped.

San Francisco took advantage of a poor night by Miami's bullpen, especially Junichi Tazawa (2-3), who did not register an out in the seventh inning, allowing four hits and three runs.

The big blows in the seventh were delivered by Carlos Moncrief on an RBI single and Hunter Pence with a run-scoring double.

"I just missed my spots," Tazawa said through an interpreter.

Center fielder Denard Span, who singled in that inning, homered earlier in the game and finished 3-for-4 with three runs and two RBIs.

Rookie first baseman Ryder Jones, who hit a solo homer in the eighth to increase San Francisco's lead to 7-4, also had a big game, including a double. It was the first time in his brief career that he posted two extra-base hits in one game.

Madison Bumgarner (3-5) earned the win, allowing nine hits and four runs in six innings. He also had an RBI single.

Bumgarner, a four-time All-Star and a three-time World Series champion, gave up the homer to Stanton.

"That was a matchup a lot of baseball fans and us in the game were looking forward to," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Bumgarner won't back down."

The left-hander said it was enjoyable going up against Stanton.

"I might not have gone about it in the smartest way," said Bumgarner, referencing the fact that he challenged a red-hot hitter, "but it was certainly fun. (Stanton) is locked in."

The Giants are now 3-8 in Bumgarner's starts this season, including 1-5 on the road.

Meanwhile, Marlins starter Dan Straily, who allowed three runs in five innings, had to settle for a no-decision after Miami's bullpen imploded. Straily had beaten the Giants every time he had faced them previously, going 4-0 with a 1.91 ERA.

Miami wasted no time in scoring. In the first inning, Stanton crushed a single to left and scored when Christian Yelich, batting cleanup for the first time this season, drove a double over the head of Span in center field.

San Francisco took a 2-1 lead in the third on Span's eighth homer of the season, a two-run shot.

In the bottom of the third, Stanton tied the score with his homer, and Miami grabbed a 3-2 lead on J.T. Realmuto's sacrifice fly, scoring Marcell Ozuna, who had singled to start the rally.

Backup catcher A.J. Ellis hit his third homer of the season in the fourth, giving Miami a 4-2 lead. Two of Ellis' homers this year have come against the Giants.

San Francisco's comeback began in the fifth as Jones hit a leadoff double and scored on Bumgarner's line-drive single to left.

"In my mind, I made one mistake the whole day," Straily said, "the pitch I left over the middle to Bumgarner."

The Giants got to Tazawa in the seventh, ending a two-game losing streak and allowing Bochy the opportunity to poke fun at Bumgarner, who got picked off second base in the third inning.

Asked about Bumgarner's reaction time, Bochy joked: "He looked like a Clydesdale getting back."
