MIAMI — As she was interviewed on the team broadcast during the third inning on Thursday, Miami Marlins general manager Kim Ng was asked if she was excited that the home opener had finally arrived.
“Absolutely,” Ng said. “We need to score a few runs, but very excited.”
The Marlins, with a revamped lineup after four key offseason acquisitions, were scoreless at that point against the Philadelphia Phillies and had just 14 runs through their first five games of the season. Miami won one of those five games.
