Well, it’s back to the usual for the Miami Marlins. 

One day removed from getting their first win of the season thanks to a blowout win over the St. Louis Cardinals, Miami got blanked by the New York Yankees in the first game of their series.  

It’s an all-lefty affair today, with A.J. Puk on the mound for the Marlins versus Carlos Rodón. 

Lineups for the Miami Marlins and New York Yankees on Tuesday, April 9th

Here's how the Marlins will line up for the contest:

2B Luis Arraez
LF Bryan De La Cruz
DH Jake Burger
1B Josh Bell
CF Jazz Chisholm Jr.
SS Tim Anderson
RF Avisaíl García
3B Emmanuel Rivera
C Christian Bethancourt

Puk is looking to rebound from two poor starts to open his season, having thrown only six innings with eight runs allowed (six earned) on six hits and nine walks. He’s faced most of the Yankees hitters at least once, with only first baseman Anthony Rizzo (1-1) getting a hit in a limited sample, but all of those came as a reliever with better ‘stuff’. 

Here's how the Yankees will line up for the series opener:

2B Gleyber Torres
RF Juan Soto
CF Aaron Judge
DH Giancarlo Stanton
1B Anthony Rizzo
SS Anthony Volpe
LF Alex Verdugo
3B Jon Berti
C Austin Wells

Rodón is looking to put an injury-marred 2023 season behind him and stabilize the Yankees rotation while reigning Cy Young winner Gerrit Cole (elbow) is still on the injured list. He’s mostly done that, too, with only three runs allowed in his first twelve innings of the season, albeit with five walks to only seven strikeouts. Very limited Marlins experience against Rodón, with Josh Bell being 1-1 with a RBI and Luis Arraez being 1-3.
