Miami took two of three from the Cardinals and heads west sitting a game under .500, with a collapsed Mets and Phillies above them in the NL East standings and a Wild Card slot in reach. Sandy Alcántara opens Friday night against a Giants team that’s been shut out four times already. The frame writes itself.

Xavier Edwards drove in three runs as Miami rallied from three down to beat the Yankees 7-6 on Easter Sunday, avoiding the sweep in the Bronx.

Heriberto Hernández tripled home two runs, but Miami’s bullpen walked ten and couldn’t hold a four-run lead in a 9-7 loss at Yankee Stadium.
