Jakob Marsee was the central force for Miami, homering to bring Javier Sanoja home and supplying the offense with a strong all-around performance.
Heriberto Hernandez’s single in the second inning brought Jakob Marsee and Xavier Edwards across the plate, giving Miami the lead it would not surrender. Marsee then homered in the third, scoring Javier Sanoja and expanding the cushion.
Arizona answered with homers from Pavin Smith, Gabriel Moreno and Nolan Arenado, but each rally stopped short of leveling the game. Merrill Kelly took the loss, while Cade Gibson earned the win and Sandy Alcantara recorded the save for Miami.
