MIAMI — It’s a familiar sight all across MLB and so it’s something the Miami Marlins try not to get too excited about.
A prospect comes to the Majors and, within the first few days of his arrival, he makes some magic. It happened this year with JJ Bleday and Charles LeBlanc, who both had multi-hit games in their second appearances for the Marlins. It happened, perhaps most memorably, in 2019 for Isan Diaz, who homered in his first game, while his parents were being interviewed on television.
Now, it’s happening for Jordan Groshans, who followed up a three-hit performance Wednesday by smashing his first home run Thursday to help Miami beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-3, in the finale of an eight-game homestand.
