JUPITER -- Five random observations from the Marlins’ first Grapefruit League game, a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals:
1) The Marlins won their trades involving Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna. Okay, of course they haven’t, not after one insignificant spring game.
But if you were wondering how the former Marlins outfielders did with their new teams in their first games, here’s your answer: nothing special. Combined, the three went 1 for 4 with a pair of strikeouts. Stanton grounded into a double play in his first at bat with the Yankees.
On the flip side, Lewis Brinson (obtained from the Brewers in the Yelich trade) doubled in two at bats and made a diving catch in center.
