MIAMI (AP) — Owen Caissie had three hits and three RBIs 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 Lopez added a double for the Marlins, who had 12 hits total and moved to 7-3 at home this season.
Marlins right-hander Max Meyer picked up his first win since May 16, 2025, allowing four hits and one run with four strikeouts. Meyer last won a start last year against the Tampa Bay Rays before undergoing season-ending left hip surgery in June.
Caissie drove in a pair of runs with an opposite-field double off Rhett Lowder (1-1) in the third, making it 3-0 after AgustÃn RamÃrez's fielder's choice allowed Edwards to score in the first.
Caissie doubled again in the sixth before scoring on Edwards' single to center, and added a run-scoring single against Jose Franco in the seventh to make it 6-1.
After a double steal by Jakob Marsee and Graham Pauley, RamÃrez drove in two more runs with a single in the eighth.
Lowder gave up eight hits and four earned runs with two strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings as the Reds ended their road trip 5-2.
Sal Stewart hit a solo home run in the fifth to make it 4-1. The Miami native drove Meyer's 1-2 four-seam fastball to center for his second homer of the series.
