MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins took advantage of a struggling New York pitching staff in front of larger-than-usual crowd in South Florida.
Hours after All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman went on the disabled list with left knee tendinitis, Yankees starter Lance Lynn gave up five runs in the sixth inning and the Yankees lost 9-3 to last-place Miami on Wednesday night.
New York managed only one extra-base hit against five Miami pitchers. They committed three errors and struck out 11 times in a defeat that ended their four-game winning streak.
Giancarlo Stanton, playing in Miami for the first time since the Marlins traded him last November, went 1 for 3 with an RBI and finished 3 for 9 in the series.
