Marlins - Yankees live online: stats, scores and updates | 2024 MLB updates
Marlins 0-7 Yankees
Marlins over matched by sensational Yankees
Nestor Cortes barely put a foot wrong tonight, throwing eight scintillating innings of baseball. He had a perfect game going through three, and in the end allowed only two hits and striking out six. Those were the only two Marlins base runners of the game. No walks, no hit by pitch, no errors. And crucially, no score.
The Yankees were slow to get off the mark themselves, doing the bulk of their work in the fourth inning. But in the end, it was outstanding work. Two three-run home runs were the difference and another run for luck in the fifth. Soto, Verdugo, and Stanton all got doubles, while Soto and Volpe hit home runs. In all, the Yankees notched up nine hits and five walks on the evening.
As much as it may be tempting to be exuberant if you are a Yankee fan, or despondent if you are a Marlins fan, it is worth keeping in mind that we are only 11 games into the season. Anything can happen. And if you are the Marlins, they better start happening soon.
For the Yankees, the good news is that the ceiling is so much higher and you have so much further still to go. The towering blast by Juan Soto was his first in pinstripes and if he can find his groove, then the sky is the limit. Aaron Judge is yet to come into form in 2024 and while Volpe has a hot bat, his glove is if anything even hotter.
Tomorrow is another day, and another game, but for now, the Yankees take game one by a score of 7-0.

PITCHING
The Marlins will go for Jesús Luzardo, who has had a rotten start to 2024. In his last outing, he gave up four hits and three runs over 5.1 innings in a 3-1 loss to the Angels. He has one of the best fastballs in the game, but if you make contact it can go a long way.
The Yankees will call on Nestor Cortes, who has struggled in both of his starts this season, giving up eight hits and three runs over five innings in a 7-0 loss to Arizona his last time out. He had a solid season last year and the Yankees are confident that it will come good for him, and between the two, it is New York who can back him up with the bat.
WELCOME!!!
Welcome to the Diario AS USA live commentary of Game 1 of the three game Bronx series as the Miami Marlins head into the lion’s den to face the New York Yankees.
The Miami Marlins have had a stinker of a start to the 2024 MLB season, losing nine in a row. They snapped that run in their last outing, beating the Cardinals 10-3. Today, they will hope to extend that win into a double, and they are doing it in perhaps the scariest place in baseball, Yankee Stadium.
Sitting dead last in the NL East, Miami is averaging only 3.33 runs per game. Their .208 batting average sees them 25th in the major leagues, while their .275 on base percentage is 29th. They have some big bats on their roster; Luis Arraez, Bryan De La Cruz, Tim Anderson; but they simply can’t get going. Jake Burger has been their hottest bat with a .314 average, two home runs and ten RBIs.
The Yankees have been the mirror image of Miami, sitting on top of the AL East. They have won all of their first three series. Their bats have been hot, with a 4.56 runs per game average. The pinstripes have not yet shown their full potential, but there have been flashes sufficient enough to see what they are capable of. Anthony Volpe is their hottest bat, with a .379 average while Giancarlo Stanton is right behind him, blasting two home runs and seven RBIs.
Taking two games each off of Houston and Arizona will have the Yankees feeling good about their chances, and if their bats come alive at the same time, they could be unbeatable. But the Marlins have played the role of David to many a Goliath before and New York can’t afford to let their foot come off the gas pedal for a second.
