LOOKING AHEAD: The Marlins return to Jupiter tomorrow to host the Minnesota Twins. It will be the second and final

third start of the spring; he has tossed 3.0 scoreless innings thus far, allowing just one hit.
TUESDAY’S GAME: Miami was on the wrong end of a 9-2 decision against the host Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium. St. Louis got off to a 4-0 lead
before Miami chipped away with a two-run seventh; both runs scored on a double by Moises Sierra.
GRAPEFRUIT LEAGUE LEADERS: Entering Thursday, Tyler Moore is tied for the Grapefruit League lead in home runs (3), and Miguel Rojas and Christian
Yelich are tied for fourth in RBI (7).

to take place at Marlins Park from March 9-12, and that the March 11 game between the Dominican Republic and United States has sold out. Marlins Park will play host to Pool C action between Canada, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the United States. Games begin tonight with the
