PHOENIX (AP) â Cody Poteet won his major league debut, Jesús Aguilar homered for a third straight game and the Miami Marlins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Wednesday night.
The 26-year-old Poteet (1-0) gave up a run in the first inning and a solo homer in the fifth but was otherwise solid. He lasted five innings and the right-hander allowed just four hits, struck out six and didn’t walk anyone.
Aguilar pushed the Marlins to a 2-0 lead in the first when he turned on Matt Peacock’s 93 mph fastball and launched the ball down the left-field line. It clanged off the foul pole about two-thirds of the way up.
Game 1
It was a run-heavy first inning as four runs were scored. Baltimore scored three, Miami scored one. Unfortunately for the Orioles, outfielder Anthony Santander injured his ankle. In the first, Santander hit a single and injured his ankle. This came when the pitcher attempted to pick him off at first base. Austin Hays, who came in for the injured Santander, Trey Mancini, and DJ Stewart scored for the Orioles, Miguel Rojas scored for the Marlins.
For the Orioles, Hays and Mancini scored another time and Rio Ruiz and Freddy Galvis notched a run. For the Marlins, Rojas scored a second run and went 4-4 on the day, and Corey Dickerson, Chad Wallach, and Lewis Brinson all scored.
