David beats Goliath. Yankees take it on the chin as last-place Marlins roll to 9-3 victory

All eyes -- 25,547 sets of them -- were on Giancarlo Stanton on Wednesday to see whether the Marlins’ former slugger would hit his milestone 300th home run in his old stomping ground, perhaps even a tape-measure blast into the Budweiser bar for old-time’s sake.

Stanton didn’t come through, but one of his unsuspecting former teammates did.

Miguel Rojas -- never known for his muscle before his sudden power upsurge this season -- connected on a three-run shot off Lance Lynn in the sixth to help lift the Marlins to an 9-3 victory over the New York Yankees and a split of their two-game series.
