Gordon with a first in Marlins win

By Jeremy Kahn

Dee Gordon did something in the series opener that never occurred in the history of Marlins Park.

Gordon hit an inside-the-park home run in the bottom of the second inning, to help the Miami Marlins defeat the San Francisco Giants 5-3 at Marlins Park.

It was the first-ever inside-the-park home run in the short four-year history of the park.

Entering the game with a major league leading 112 hits, Gordon used his speed to get around the bases against Ryan Vogelsong. The ball hit by Gordon eluded Gregor Blanco, and the scoop from Blanco’s glove went behind Angel Pagan and Gordon rounded the bases with a three-run home run.

Buster Posey hit his 12th home run, and added a double.

Vogelsong allowed four runs on the evening in six innings of work.

The contract of infielder Ehire Adrianza was purchased from Triple -A Sacramento, while Casey McGehee was designated for assignment for the second time this season.
