MIAMI—You only get one chance to make a good first impression. Starling Marte is probably happy with how he handled his.
In his first game in a Miami Marlins uniform, Marte hit a no-doubt home run to left-centerfield to break a 2-2 tie and give the Fish a victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
“Once I hit the ball, I felt it,” Marte said. “The energy I felt with the bat, I knew it was gone. And when I got to the dugout, it was great. Enjoying it with the guys, I felt their support.
