Ex-Marlin Salty haunts Fish in return to Miami
Jarrod Saltalamacchia swats a two-run homer to right field to open the scoring for the Tigers in the top of the 2nd inningMIAMI -- Jarrod Saltalamacchia still collects pay from the Marlins after they released him last April in the middle of a three-year contract. Wearing a Tigers jersey in his first return to Marlins Park since the move, he was owning them.
With a caught stealing of Dee Gordon and a two-run home run off Jose Fernandez, ex-teammates both, Saltalamacchia won't soon forget his Tigers debut or his Miami return. Both happened in the early innings Wednesday, turning their reunion bittersweet.
