MIAMI — It started with Jesus Aguilar. The Miami Marlins’ designated hitter lifted an Eric Lauer cutter that sat over the heart of the plate and sent it 412 feet and into AutoNation Alley in center field for a game-tying home run.
Four pitches later, it was Jorge Soler’s turn. The outfielder sent a middle-middle fastball 411 feet to left-center field to give the Marlins their first lead of the game.
And then, for good measure, Brian Anderson had his fun four batters later. The third baseman sent a slider 402 feet to left field for a two-run home run to give Miami some insurance runs.
