Owen Caissie had three hits and drove in three runs to help the Miami Marlins beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-1 on Thursday.
Javier Sanoja also had three hits with two RBIs, Xavier Edwards tripled and Otto López added a double for the Marlins, who had 12 total hits and improved to 7-3 at home this season.
Marlins right-hander Max Meyer earned his first win since May 16, 2025, allowing four hits and one run, with four strikeouts. Meyer had won his last game as a starter last year against the Tampa Bay Rays before undergoing left hip surgery in June that ended his season.
Caissie drove in two runs with an opposite-field double off Rhett Lowder (1-1) in the third inning, making the score 3-0 after Agustín Ramírez’s fielder’s choice allowed Edwards to score in the first inning.
Caissie doubled again in the sixth inning before scoring on Edwards’ single to center field, and added an RBI single against José Franco in the seventh to make the score 6-1.
After a double stolen base by Jakob Marsee and Graham Pauley, Ramírez drove in two more runs with a single in the eighth inning.
Lowder allowed eight hits and four earned runs, with two strikeouts, in 5 1/3 innings, and the Reds finished their road trip with a score of 5-2.
Sal Stewart hit a solo home run in the fifth inning to make the score 4-1. The Miami native sent Meyer’s four-seam fastball to center field for his second home run of the series.
Marlins outfielder Griffin Conine left the game in the sixth inning due to discomfort in his left knee after a failed attempt to catch a falling fly ball hit by Spencer Steer.
Cincinnati center fielder Dane Myers started the game with a spectacular play against his former team, making a leaping catch along the wall to prevent Marsee from hitting an extra-base hit.
Tyler Phillips pitched the final three innings to earn his first save of the season.
