There were two scorched line drives reminiscent of Giancarlo Stanton’s signature power that many Marlins’ fans still miss.
But neither of those hits left the yard Tuesday night in the former Marlins’ slugger’s first game back in Miami since being traded to the New York Yankees.
His new team, however, found a way to grind out a victory in 12 innings as the Yankees beat the Marlins 2-1 in front of a crowd of 26,275 – the largest at Marlins Park since Opening Day.
Facing reliever Javy Guerra, Stanton struck out in the top of the 12th with runners on first and second and no outs.
