Entering Wednesday’s series finale between the Marlins and Twins, emotions were running high as fans and former teammates welcomed Pablo López back to the LoanDepot Park mound. The Venezuelan right-hander was making his first start vs. his former club while facing off against his World Baseball Classic teammate Jesús Luzardo.
The focus of the game shifted in the first inning when leadoff hitter Jazz Chisholm Jr. was caught stealing 2nd base and was very slow to get up with Marlins trainers coming to check up on him. The Marlins removed Jazz from the game immediately and put Bryan De La Cruz in his place.
