MIAMI — The Miami Marlins scored a franchise-record eight runs in the first inning and went on to defeat the New York Yankees 12-2 on Tuesday night at Marlins Park.
Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton added a three-run, opposite-field homer in the fifth inning. He leads the majors with 24 homers and 62 RBIs.
Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, who is five hits short of 3,000, did not play.
Former Marlins right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (5-2), who was traded to the Yankees this past winter, took a beating, lasting two-thirds of an inning and allowing nine hits and eight runs.
It was the shortest outing in Eovaldi’s career. Batters hit .818 against him in the inning, and his ERA rose from 4.13 to 5.12.
Right-hander David Phelps (4-3), who was acquired in the Eovaldi trade, secured the win, allowing just two runs in seven innings.
Miami (29-37) swept the two-game series but will now face New York (34-30) in a two-game set at Yankee Stadium, Wednesday and Thursday.
The Marlins went 5-1 during the homestand, allowing a combined eight runs.
Tuesday’s game drew 33,083 fans. It was just the fourth home Marlins crowd of more than 30,000 this season — and their second in a row.
The Marlins’ big inning included a two-run single by center fielder Marcell Ozuna, an RBI singles by first baseman Justin Bour and catcher J.T. Realmuto, a two-run triple by shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, an RBI single by second baseman Dee Gordon and a run-scoring double by second baseman Derek Dietrich.
Every Marlins hitter had at least one hit in the inning other than Phelps. Dietrich had two hits.
