Five-run sixth dooms Yankees
Miami scores in bunches, comes back to beat N.Y.
Miami — Hours after AllStar closer Aroldis Chapman went on the disabled list with left knee tendinitis, Yankees starter Lance Lynn gave up five runs in the sixth inning and New York lost 9-3 to the last-place Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.
The Yankees managed only one extra-base hit against five Miami pitchers. They committed three errors and struck out 11 times in a defeat that ended their four-game winning streak.
Giancarlo Stanton, playing in Miami for the first time since the Marlins traded him last November, went 1-for-3 with an RBI and finished 3-for9 in the series. He remained at 299 career homers.
Lynn (8-9) had a 2-0 lead in the sixth, but Miguel Rojas' three-run homer put the Mar-
lins ahead. The homer was the 10th for Rojas, who had never hit more than one in a season before this year.
Attendance was 25,547, including lots of Yankees fans, and many of them had departed by the time Miami's J.T. Riddle delivered a tworun, pinch-hit homer in the eighth.
Chapman joined three injured regulars on the Yankees' disabled list, and their offense looked depleted during the two-game series. They totaled 10 hits in the final 17 innings against Miami.
Neil Walker drove in two runs with a double and a sacrifice fly, and Stanton had an RBI infield hit in the seventh.
Miami's Trevor Richards allowed two runs in 5.1 innings and struck out nine. Jarlin Garcia (2-2) retired both batters he faced.
Lynn was charged with five runs for the second game in a row. He worked 5.1 innings.
Brain cramp
A mental lapse cost the Yankees in the seventh. When Miami's Brian Anderson tried to steal second and Starlin Castro took ball four, catcher Austin Romine made a needless and wild throw to second.
That allowed Anderson to advance to third, and he scored an unearned run on a groundout.
Trainer's room
Yankees: RHP David Robertson, who has been nursing a tender shoulder, said he was available to pitch. Up next Yankees: Following a day off, lefthander CC Sabathia (7-4, 3.32 ERA) is scheduled to start for the first time since Aug. 12 when New York begins a four-game series at Baltimore on Friday.
