Miami Palms 4, New York Yankees 2 (14 innings)

 Thursday, April 30, 2020 – Yankee Stadium

The Miami Palms are proving they know how to win ugly — and long.

It took 14 innings, but Nick Markakis and Edwin Encarnacion delivered the big swings, and Miami’s bullpen held the line as the Palms outlasted the Yankees, 4–2, on Thursday night in the Bronx.

Down 2–0 after Gary Sánchez’s second-inning homer, Miami spent most of the night chasing Masahiro Tanaka, who spun nine innings of two-run ball. The breakthrough finally came in the eighth, when Markakis drilled a two-run homer to right, tying the game.

That set the stage for the 14th, when Encarnacion — held quiet all night — crushed a go-ahead two-run shot off Chad Green. Chris Martin shut the door in the bottom half for his 10th save.

The Palms’ bullpen was the unsung story: six relievers combined for 8⅓ scoreless innings, highlighted by Jeremy Jeffress’s three dominant frames in extras. Cody Allen and Mike Morin each chipped in key zeros before Martin finished it off.

The win pushes Miami to 18–15, with a record of 2-5 against the Yankees.

There was sour news for Miami, though: first baseman Jaspero Gonzalez exited late with a leg injury and was placed on the 60-day IL postgame. In his place, the club recalled Ian Pfaff from Triple-A. Veteran lefty Manny Parra is expected to be activated in time to make a start in Seattle next week.

Next up: Miami continues its four-game set in New York before heading west for a weekend series in Seattle. Dylan Bundy (1–2, 5.45 ERA) won’t factor in Friday’s matchup after his Thursday start, leaving the Palms to lean again on their evolving rotation depth.

The Palms Can’t Just “Patch and Pray” Anymore

  South Florida Sun-Beat Column by Rhys Thomason It’s been said often enough this spring that the Miami Palms have been snakebitten by injuries, and sure, that’s true. Brett Gardner’s hamstring, Jaspero Gonzalez’s wrist, Jarod Lantz’s shoulder — all of them are the kind of setbacks that could sink a team with less depth. But let’s be honest: relying on duct tape and good vibes to paper over holes isn’t a strategy. It’s negligence. Look at the infield. Matt Koch has been pressed into everyday duty at second base, and while he’s played hard, nobody in Coconut Coast camp ever dreamed he’d be logging this many starts in April. He’s a utility man being asked to survive as a keystone anchor. That’s not development, that’s desperation. Then there’s the lineup. Edwin Encarnación keeps finding ways to knock in runs, but where’s the support? Pat Grant’s homer in the Bronx was a bright spot, but there’s a lack of consistent firepower around the middle of the order. The front office’s answe...

Verdugo, Red Sox Pummel Palms in Series Opener

By Vin Castillo, Coca-Cola Palms Park  MIAMI — The Palms got a dose of reality Monday night, and it came in the form of a relentless Boston lineup and an untimely outburst from their veteran catcher. Alex Verdugo went 4-for-4 with three RBIs, and the Red Sox racked up 16 hits en route to a 7-1 win over the Miami Palms at Coca-Cola Palms Park. The loss snapped Miami’s four-game win streak and featured a forgettable debut for newly called-up reliever Allan Persons, who gave up three runs on five hits in a single inning of work. Boston wasted no time, tagging Palms starter Blake Johnston for three runs in the opening frame, thanks to a pair of RBI hits from Xander Bogaerts and Mitch Moreland. Johnston lasted just three innings, surrendering four earned runs, and took his second loss of the season. Miami’s lone highlight came in the bottom of the first when Jaspero Gonzalez drilled a solo home run—his seventh of the year—to cut the early deficit to 3-1. That would be all the offense...
