“#Triumphant return for Marlins after coronavirus-induced layoff<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n BALTIMORE \u2014 Finally back on the baseball diamond after enduring eight days of virus testing, hotel room service and lengthy bus rides, the Miami Marlins scratched out a victory worth savoring.<\/p>\n

Following one final delay in their effort to return from a miserable coronavirus-induced hiatus, the Marlins found enough power and pitching within their vastly overhauled roster to beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-0 Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Francisco Cervelli and Jes\u00fas Aguilar homered for the Marlins, who had their season halted after 18 players tested positive for COVID-19 following the opening series<\/a> in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

All the happ<\/a>iness that playing baseball brings was displayed when Cervelli slammed a 3-1 pitch from John Means over the left-field wall to give Miami a 1-0 lead in the fifth. The players in the dugout cheered, and Cervelli saluted them as the rounded third and headed for home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese guys love to play, right? That\u2019s what you see,\u201d manager Don Mattingly said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been in a hotel for a long time. Guys are happy to be out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pablo L\u00f3pez threw five innings of two-hit ball and the bullpen allowed just one hit in Miami\u2019s first shutout victory since Sept. 8 against Kansas City.<\/p>\n

\u201cGive him credit. He threw a really nice game<\/a>,\u201d Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said of Lopez. \u201cWe just didn\u2019t swing the bats well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Late Tuesday afternoon, the Marlins were still awaiting the result of further COVID-19 tests, a process that stalled their arrival at Camden Yards and pushed back the scheduled 7:35 p.m. start by 41 minutes.<\/p>\n

Once they finally got back on the diamond, the Marlins backed up the assertion of president of baseball operations Michael Hill, who said beforehand: \u201cWe expect to win games.\u201d<\/p>\n

So does Mattingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe lost some guys, but we like our guys who are coming up.,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Who knows how it will play out? For now, however, Miami stands atop the NL East in terms of winning percentage. Before this season, the Marlins have never been in first place after June 30.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally we got out on the field and we do what we\u2019re supposed to do,\u201d Aguilar said. \u201cNow we\u2019ve got to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miami put a whopping 18 players on the injured list and showed up with an equal number of replacements on their 30-man roster \u2014 some from their minor league camp, others obtained via trade and a few plucked off the waiver wire. Mattingly wrote up his lineup card, there\u2019s a good chance he had to introduce himself to a few of the newcomers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve just got to try to hold down the fort and get some guys back, survive this trip<\/a> and see where we\u2019re at,\u201d the manager said. \u201cThis one felt good. We\u2019ve been through a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

To say the least.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to have to write a book after this one,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201cYou get tested and you persevere and you learn from a lot of situations.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were plenty of rookies in the dugout, but the only one in the starting lineup was highly touted prospect fielder Monte Harrison, who played center field and went 0 for 3 with three strikeouts in his major league debut.<\/p>\n

A matchup between two teams that each lost more than 100 games last year was oddly intriguing because it was Miami\u2019s first game since July 26 and the Orioles were coming off a three-game sweep of Tampa Bay that lifted them into second place in the AL East.<\/p>\n

Orioles starter John Means (0-1) allowed one run and two hits in 4 2\/3 innings. He retired 13 in a row before Cervelli\u2019s first long ball of the season ended the left-hander\u2019s night. <\/p>\n

Lopez was better, striking out seven and permitting just one runner past first base. The bullpen was also impressive, including Richard Bleier, obtained from the Orioles last week.<\/p>\n

The Marlins went up 3-0 in the sixth, and Aguilar hit his third homer in four games.<\/p>\n

After the final out, the Marlins lined up and did \u201cair\u201d high-fives in which they didn\u2019t make contact with their hands.<\/p>\n

Because of Miami\u2019s precarious situation, the Orioles had two games in Florida postponed and opened at home against the Yankees instead of Marlins on July 29-30. In this anything goes, wacky baseball season, Miami will be the home team for the final two games of this four-game series.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
