LoanDepot Park welcomed its largest crowd of the season Friday night, and they were treated to a textbook case of 2021 Marlins baseball. The Yankees and Fish combined for only one extra-base hit—a go-ahead Anthony Rizzo solo home run in the sixth—as the visitors held on to win, 3-1.
Rizzo reached base safely three times in his first game since being traded from the Cubs. Ex-Rangers star Joey Gallo had a quiet 0-for-4 performance with two strikeouts and a walk.
Marlins fans got introduced to young outfielders Bryan De La Cruz and Brian Miller.
