Marlins Sweep Rockies on Caissie's Walk-Off Homer

Miami Marlins outfielder Owen Caissie hit a walk-off two-run homer in the ninth inning Sunday, lifting his team to a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies and completing a sweep of their season-opening three-game series at loanDepot park.

The win marked the Marlins' first series sweep to start a season since 2009, improving their record to 3-0 under second-year manager Clayton McCullough. Caissie, a rookie acquired from the Chicago Cubs in an offseason trade for pitcher Edward Cabrera, finished the series 5 for 10 with two doubles and four RBIs. His ninth-inning blast came after Javier Sanoja doubled with two outs against Rockies reliever Victor Vodnik, sending the ball over the right-field wall on a changeup.

The Marlins trailed 3-0 early after the Rockies jumped ahead in the first inning off starter Max Meyer. Jordan Beck cleared the bases with a three-run double following a single and two walks, though an error by second baseman Otto López extended the inning. Meyer, making his season debut, settled in afterward, allowing no more runs over his five-inning outing. He gave up five hits, struck out five and walked two.

Miami responded quickly, cutting the deficit to 3-1 on...
