Jason Alexander pitched six scoreless innings, Jeremy Peña doubled twice and the Houston Astros used a five-run fourth to beat the Miami Marlins 8-2 on Monday night.

After being swept by the Red Sox, the Astros continue their road trip with the first of three in Miami against the Marlins.

The Marlins have a game today in the LoneDepot Park at 6:40 p.m. for their second game of the series against the Astros this regular season.

Austin Slater, Ryan McMahon and Anthony Volpe are quickly out for the Yankees. The Marlins make it five wins in a row and have a first ever series sweep of the Yankees. The brooms are out in Miami! The Yankees make a good start to the ninth. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is on base again and manages to steal second. Can they make a late shot at a comeback?

After sweeping the New York Yankees over the weekend for the first time in franchise history, the Miami Marlins accomplished baseball history that hasn't happened in the last 11 years. Per Sarah Langs of MLB.

Luis Gil waited several long months to return to the mound. His start on Sunday hardly went the way he would have hoped. The Yankees’ young right-hander lasted just 3 1/3 innings after allowing five hits and five runs in a 7-3 loss to the Marlins that marked the first Miami sweep of New York in franchise history.
