Overview
- The Yankees, who opened at home Friday, beat the Marlins 8-2 after Cody Bellinger pulled in a ninth-inning no-look catch that helped close the door.
- On an 85 mph cutter from lefty Ryan Yarbrough, Xavier Edwards drove a ball to the warning track that hit off Bellinger’s glove heel before he swiped it into his mitt.
- Bellinger spun and raised his arms after the grab as Yarbrough applauded, then a pickoff at second and a Liam Hicks flyout ended the game.
- Bellinger also chipped in on offense with a 1-for-4 day, logging a ground-rule double, an eighth-inning walk, and a run on Ben Rice’s two-out double.
- Carlos Rodón called his hamstring tightness a “bump in the road” and hopes to throw from a mound soon, with a rehab assignment the likely next step if that test goes well.
