Edwards, Ramírez help Marlins come from behind to beat Yankees 13-12

MIAMI (AP) — Xavier Edwards hit a tying two-run single in the ninth, then raced home with the winning run on Agustín Ramírez’s chopper in front of the plate as the Marlins rallied to beat the New York Yankees 13-12 in front of an electric Miami crowd on Friday night.

Edwards’ hit came off new Yankees reliever Camilo Doval (4-3) and he beat the attempted tag at home on Ramírez’s fielder’s choice grounder.

Giancarlo Stanton and Trent Grisham hit three-run homers that helped the Yankees build a 9-4 lead before the Marlins stunned New York with a six-run seventh.

Kyle Stowers hit a grand slam off newly acquired Yankees reliever Jake Bird, and Javier Sanoja hit a solo shot off David Bednar, another new acquisition. Ramírez singled twice, including a leadoff base hit and a go-ahead single that put the Marlins up 10-9.

Anthony Volpe then tied it at 10 with a leadoff home run in the eighth, and Bednar pitched a scoreless inning before Ryan McMahon’s single against Anthony Bender (3-5) in the ninth. Volpe, who had four hits, gave the Yankees a two-run cushion with a run-scoring double.

Yankees starter Carlos Rodón was lifted in the fifth after issuing his fifth walk. The left-hander shook his head as he left the mound, with his outing ending after striking out nine and allowing two walks and four runs.

Rodón held the Marlins without a hit before Eric Wagaman’s leadoff single in the fifth. Sanoja launched an opposite field two-run shot off Rodón, and pinch-hitter Liam Hicks drove in two with a single off Jonathan Loáisiga that made it 6-4.

Jasson Dominguez also had three hits.

Janson Junk went five innings and allowed six runs and six hits while striking out four.

The announced crowd at loanDepot park was a season-high 32,299.
