MIAMI — Tuesday’s game — a 2-1 New York Yankees victory over the Miami Marlins in 12 innings — marked the return of Giancarlo Stanton to Marlins Park.Stanton and the Yankees will try to win their fifth straight game when they conclude the two-game set in Miami on Wednesday.Stanton Phil Niekro Jersey , who was the 2017 National League MVP while playing for the Marlins, was traded to the Yankees over the winter in a cost-cutting move.Article continues below ...“I don’t think there were any hard feelings,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said when asked about Stanton and the trade Tuesday. “There weren’t any bad parts.”Stanton agreed.“We know what the (financial) situation is over there,” Stanton said. “We understand what they have been through. I’m just happy to be here. I always miss Miami. I miss the city.“It’s cool to be back. It was cool flying in and driving over the bridge. I miss everything about the city.”Miami feels the same about Stanton. The fans — attendance at Marlins Park was much bigger than usual with an announced crowd of 26,275 — gave Stanton a standing ovation when he came to bat in Tuesday’s first inning.Stanton went 2-for-6 with a double and three strikeouts http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-tom-glavine-jersey , and the Marlins honored him with a video tribute in the second inning.The Yankees (79-46) are in second place in the American League East and have won four straight games to move within eight games of the first-place Red Sox. They have also won 11 of their past 15 games since being swept in a four-game series at Boston.Miami (50-77) is in last place in the National League East and had its modest two-game win streak snapped Tuesday.On Wednesday, Stanton will face a Marlins pitcher who is not a former teammate. Rookie right-hander Trevor Richards (3-7, 4.28 ERA) has below-average speed on his fastball (90.9 mph).But Richards, armed with an effective changeup, has been better at home (2-3 Chipper Jones Jersey , 3.27 ERA) than on the road, and that could give him a boost Wednesday.However, after posting a 1-0 record and a 2.30 ERA in five July starts, Richards has lost his way. In three August starts, he is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA.Richards will face veteran right-hander Lance Lynn (8-8 http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-john-smoltz-jersey , 4.68 ERA), who was acquired by the Yankees from the Minnesota Twins on July 30.In four games with the Yankees — including three starts — Lynn is 1-0 with a 2.61 ERA.Lynn is also 4-1 with a 3.75 ERA in eight career games (six starts) against the Marlins.However, the Yankees will likely be without closer Aroldis Chapman, who was trying for his 32nd save of the season Tuesday when he exited the game in the 12th inning after six pitches because of an apparent arm injury.Tommy Kahnle got the last three outs for his fourth career save and his first since 2016 in his 200th career game.The feel-good story for Miami on Tuesday revolved around rookie left fielder Austin Dean, who jumped on the first pitch of the bottom of the fifth inning for a leadoff homer to left-center.Dean Matt Kemp Jersey , who crushed an 87-mph splitter, got his first major league hit last week — a home run. This homer was his first base hit at Marlins Park, and perhaps more heroics are in store for him Wednesday. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Orioles pitcher David Hess might want to stick to baseball.The rookie right-hander was hit in the left eye while playing catch with a football Friday night before Baltimore’s game against Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field. He was taken to a specialist for an examination of his left eye.“For me immediately I was just trying to make sure I could see and once I could see I knew I was OK,” Hess said after the Orioles were beat 14-2 by the Rays. “That was good but definitely something I’ve got to be careful with going forward”By the early innings http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-hank-aaron-jersey , Hess was back in the Baltimore dugout — wearing an LSU football helmet.“I could not entirely tell you where the LSU helmet came from,” Hess said. “It appeared in the second inning and I was told to wear it so I wore it.”It’s a normal sight almost across the majors to see pitchers doing running work involving football passes before batting practice.“I think going out there and playing around … that’s just kind of part of being an athlete,” Hess said. “We want to go out there, we want to toss around a football or whatever it may be. This is just one of those times where a freak accident happens so next time I’ve just got to move my head or catch the ball.”Turns out that Hess won’t miss his start Saturday night against the Rays. The 25-year-old Hess is 3-9 with a 5.27 ERA this season.Hess is not the only issue for the Baltimore rotation this weekend.Showalter said righty Alex Cobb is not expected to start Sunday due to lingering blister problems. Josh Rogers would take Cobb’s spot.
