The New York Yankees will play the Miami Marlins in Game 2 of their series on Saturday afternoon at loanDepot park in Miami, Florida. Miami was able to get a much needed series win coming into this Game, but they got rolled by New York in Game 1 by a score of 9-4. The Yankees are trying to stay within reach of a Wild Card spot and it was great to see the offense come alive on Friday.
