MIAMI (AP) — Party music blared from the Miami Marlins’ postgame clubhouse as Tyler Moore talked about his game-changing home run, which gave the team a victory to celebrate for the first time all week.
Moore connected for a pinch-hit three-run homer against R.A. Dickey in the seventh inning, and Miami broke a five-game losing streak by beating the Atlanta Braves 3-1 Sunday.
“It has been tough around here,” Moore said. “It’s good to see guys walking out of here with a smile.”
The Marlins improved to 1-5 on their nine-game homestand, and 6-11 at home this year.
