Jordan Yamamoto remains undefeated as Marlins smack Padres
Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY SportsRuns came at a quick pace Tuesday night at Marlins Park, as the Marlins opened a three-game weekday series versus the San Diego Padres. Combining for seven runs in the opening two frames, Brian Anderson’s three-run blast set the tone early, leading Miami past San Diego, 12-7.
Jordan Yamamoto, returning to the mound for the first time since the All-Star break, breezed through the first inning. He struck out Fernando Tatís Jr. and Manny Machado, a Hialeah native.
“Besides the second, I thought Jordan was good,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said postgame. “We were able to settle him down after the pitch count rose and it was important to get him through five.”
