FORT MYERS, Fla. — Derek Dietrich and Xavier Scruggs keyed a big third inning for the Marlins on Saturday, leading Miami to an 11-8 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
The Marlins sent eight batters to the plate in the third. Dietrich's bases-loaded, two-run double ended the day for Red Sox starter Henry Owens. Scruggs greeted reliever Jorge Marban with a first-pitch, three-run home run.
"I was really happy for the opportunity and tried to make the best of it," Scruggs said.
