The New York Yankees finished a two-game series with a 9-3 defeat to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night at Marlins Park. Both clubs split the two-game series at Yankee Stadium back in April.
New York(79-47) had to wait until the fourth inning to get on the scoreboard. Neil Walker lined a two-out double to deep right field off the glove of a diving Rafael Ortega for Aaron Hicks to score from first.
The Yankees made it 2-0 in the top of the sixth. Brett Gardner was able to score on a sacrifice fly by Walker to center field.
Miami(51-77) came up with five runs in the bottom of the sixth to take the lead. Austin Dean reached base on an infield hit to short as Brian Anderson scored. Miguel Rojas followed with a three-run homer to left field on a 1-2 pitch. Former Yankee Starlin Castro and Dean scored in front of him on the play. Two batters later, Yadiel Rivera drove in Magneuris Sierra on a double to deep right-center field.
The Bronx Bombers closed the gap during the seventh inning. Former Marlin Giancarlo Stanton got an infield hit to short for Luke Voit to score.
The Marlins regained a three-run margin in the bottom of the frame. Derek Dietrich grounded into a fielder's choice for Anderson to cross the plate.
The Fish added three additional runs in the eighth inning. Sierra led off with a single to center then J.T. Riddle came in to pinch-hit and sent a two-run home run to right-center field on the first pitch. Castro later sliced a single into right-center which brought in J.T. Realmuto.
