Owen Caissie hits walk-off homer to give Marlins a sweep of Rockies in
season-opening series
MIAMI (AP) --- Owen Caissie hit a walk-off, two-run homer to give the Miami
Marlins a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday and complete a sweep of
their season-opening series.
Javier Sanoja doubled with two outs in the ninth inning against Rockies
reliever Victor Vodnik (0-1) before Caissie drilled a change-up from Vodnik
over the wall in right field.
In addition to going deep, Caissie doubled twice and batted 5 for 10 over the
three-game set.
Sanoja, Otto Lpez and Xavier Edwards had two hits each for the Marlins.
Michael Petersen (1-0) got the win, throwing a perfect ninth.
The Rockies struck quickly against Marlins starter Max Meyer on Jordan Beck's
three-run double in the first.
Miami chipped away at the early deficit when Lpez hit an RBI double in the
first and Austin Slater added a sacrifice fly in the second.
Rockies starter Jos Quintana was lifted after 4 1/3 innings and 78 pitches of
two-run ball. Quintana gave up four hits, struck out two and walked four.
The 37-year-old Quintana began his 15th season with Sunday's outing. Quintana
pitched for eight previous clubs before Colorado signed him to a free agent
deal in the offseason.
Meyer settled down after the first and kept the Rockies scoreless through the
remainder of his five-inning outing. He allowed five hits, struck out five and
walked two.
Miami's Deyvison De Los Santos doubled in his first major league at-bat in the
second. De Los Santos was recalled from Triple-A Saturday.
Up next Rockies: RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (10-10, 4.64 with Baltimore in 2025) makes his Colorado debut in the opener of a three-game set at Toronto on Monday. Four seasons since his last major league appearance, RHP Cody Ponce will start for the Blue Jays. Marlins: RHP Chris Paddack (5-12, 5.35 in 2025) will start the opener of a three-game home series against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. RHP Davis Martin (7-10, 4.10) will start for the White Sox. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
