Marlins Prevent Sweep By Yankees

     The Miami Marlins avoided another sweep with a 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night. The Marlins finished the road trip with a 2-4 record. They will haver tomorrow off and host the Atlanta Braves to start a homestand on Friday. 
     Miami(2-11) raced out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the third. Luis Arraez knocked in Nick Gordon on a single through the left side. Two batters later, Jake Burger blasted a three-run homer to left-center field on a 0-1 pitch with Nick Fortes and Luis Arraez aboard. It was Burger's third home run of the season. 
     New York(10-3) made it 4-1 in the bottom of the sixth. Former Marlin Giancarlo Stanton smashed a solo home run to right-center field on a 1-0 count for his fourth homer of the year. 
     In the eighth inning, the Yankees climbed closer and were down 4-2. Juan Soto doubled into right field for Anthony Volpe to score. 
     The Fish expanded it to 5-2 in the top of the ninth. Tim Anderson scored on a throwing error by Volpe on a Gordon ground ball.
