MIAMI — The never-wrong boxscore will show the Yankees beat Derek Jeter’s lowly Marlins, 2-1, in 12 innings on Tuesday night at Marlins Park.
That is a fact because Miguel Andujar’s bases-loaded sacrifice fly to left scored Kyle Higashioka from third and lifted the Yankees to a fourth straight victory that was witnessed by 26,275 who welcomed Giancarlo Stanton back to South Florida with a warm reception.
The marathon win had an expensive tax, however, because Aroldis Chapman left in the 12th after walking Isaac Galloway leading off and throwing a ball to Rafael Ortega.
