JUPITER (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins’ top players have been getting going in recent days.

Reigning NL batting champion Dee Gordon singled for his first hit of the spring after an 0-for-10 start and the Marlins beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 on Wednesday.

Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina made a sweeping tag play at the plate to save a run in his first appearance of the spring.

He didn’t bat, protecting his surgically repaired left thumb for another week or so. He caught three innings.
