Miami Hits The Road As They Take On Seattle

Miami will now hit the road after their series with New York as they will travel to Seattle to take on the Seattle Mariners. 

Miami survived against New York in their series finale as J.T Riddle hit a two-run home run to seal the win for Miami.

After having a no-hit bid and a two-run lead disappear, the Marlins celebrated a 4-2 walk-off win on Sunday over the Mets when J.T. Riddle crushed a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth inning off Addison Reed.

Riddle, who collected his first big league hit on a check swing single a few days ago, left no doubt with his homer to right field. The blast came after the Marlins lost a replay challenge that Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud blocked the plate, preventing Marcell Ozuna from scoring.

J.T Riddle had this to say. 

"It's crazy," who was called up last Sunday after shortstop Adeiny Hechavarriawent on the disabled list. "It's funny how baseball works sometimes. My first hit is a check-swing bouncer off the ground, and then to come up in a situation like that. To do that, it's hard to explain."

In a wild four-game series, the Marlins rebounded after losing, 9-8, in 16 innings on Thursday night to take the next three. "according to http://m.marlins.mlb.com/news/article/224660526/marlins-jt-riddle-hits-walk-off-hr-vs-mets/
