Twins pile on with three homers in win over Marlins

Published Mar. 10, 2017 4:03 p.m. ET

The Florida Marlins were off to an early lead when Ichiro Suzuki scored on a ground out by Justin Bour in the first inning -- but the Minnesota Twins rallied for an 8-2 spring training win Friday.

Minnesota starter Tyler Duffey earned the win, giving up three hits and one run in three innings.

John Ryan Murphy hit a solo home run in the second inning to tie the game and ByungHo Park followed up with a go-ahead homer in the third inning.

In the seventh inning, Eduardo Escobar and John Ryan Murphy each came home after the Marlins' Kyle Barraclough hit Escobar with a pitch and followed with four consecutive walks by Murphy, Niko Goodrum, Daniel Palka and Drew Stubbs.

Escobar further padded the Twins lead in the eighth inning with a line drive single that drove in Max Kepler. Minnesota piled on in the ninth inning with a 3-run homer by Dan Rohlfing.

Minnesota's J.T. Chargois gave up a home run to Brian Anderson in the bottom of the ninth inning.
