A-Rod glad to be back home even though he didn't start
Photo by: The Associated PressMIAMI — Alex Rodriguez sat in a mostly deserted visiting dugout two hours before Monday's game, holding his older daughter's hands while she whispered in his ear.
Daddy's back home for a couple of days.
Rodriguez returned to his hometown for a two-game series with the New York Yankees against the Miami Marlins. He wasn't in the starting lineup because he's now almost exclusively a designated hitter, and there's no DH for interleague games in NL cities.
Rodriguez pinch-hit with two out and a runner on first in the ninth inning and flied out, and the Yankees lost 2-1.
Even so, he was happy to be in the city where he grew up and still lives in the offseason.
