BUFFALO, NY (AP) — If Magneuris Sierra and the Miami Marlins were looking for special souvenirs to bring home from their extra-long road trip, they found them with a big extra-inning win and a hold on first place.
Sierra hit a go-ahead single in the 10th inning and the Marlins overcame Toronto’s seven home runs to outlast the Blue Jays 14-11 Wednesday night in the final game of their season-opening, three-week odyssey.
“It seems like the perfect game to end this trip, a game out of the ordinary,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said.
After this detour to Sahlen Field, Miami finally gets to play its pandemic-delayed opener at Marlins Park.
