Sanoja, Caissie and Mack homer as Marlins dismantle Rockies 14-3 for
franchise-best 20th win of June
DENVER (AP) --- Javier Sanoja and Owen Caissie each hit three-run homers, and
Joe Mack added a two-run shot as the Miami Marlins defeated the Colorado
Rockies 14-3 to claim their franchise-best 20th win of June.
The Marlins, who have the second-lowest payroll in MLB, have outscored
opponents 133-80 in June, their best calendar month in franchise history. They
are also the first team in MLB to win 20 games in a month this year.
Sanoja broke the game open in the third with his 419-foot shot to left-center
field to extend Miami's lead to 5-1. The Marlins then rattled off a three-run
sixth inning behind RBI singles from Kyle Stowers, Griffin Conine and Xavier
Edwards before Mack launched his fifth-career homer to right field in the
seventh.
Caissie sent his 10th home run of the season 453 feet over the right-field wall
in the eighth, and Stowers capped the scoring with a two-run double in the
ninth. The Marlins set new season highs in runs and hits.
Conine scored the game's first run with an RBI double in the first, and Leo
Jimnez tacked on a one-run single in the second for a 2-1 lead. Conine
finished 4 for 5 at the plate, marking the first four-hit game of his career.
Eury Prez (4-6) gave up one run on two hits while striking out eight for Miami
in 5 1/3 innings.
Tanner Gordon (0-2) surrendered five runs on nine hits in five innings. He
struck out four.
Mickey Moniak plated the Rockies' first run with a solo homer in the bottom of
the first inning. Jake McCarthy hit an RBI single in the seventh and Ezequiel
Tovar plated the Rockies' final run with an RBI double.
