The moment Augustín Ramírez swung, it was clear the ball was gone. It landed 436 feet away in the left-field seats — the second-longest home run of the season for the Miami Marlins, exactly one week after Ramírez launched the longest one 447 feet at Washington. Ramírez’s three-run blast in the third inning Friday night provided the Marlins more than enough offense in a 6-2 win over the Braves to open their three-game series at loanDepot park.

It began with two outs on his first two pitches and progressed into Marlins’ right-hander Edward Cabrera’s best start of the season. “Everything he was throwing was electric,” said catcher Nick Fortes. But with one out in the seventh inning, the Phillies still scoreless and Cabrera having allowed only two hits, manager Clayton McCullough turned to the bullpen. Cabrera, who had just struck out Nick Castellanos swinging, exited. The Phillies scored one run, then another in the eighth.

Tuesday figured to be Jesús Luzardo’s night. Plow through the Marlins’ lineup, pitch a gem, and then bolt to watch his beloved Florida Panthers capture the Stanley Cup. That was the plan for the Phillies’ starting pitcher against his former team. But early on, it was Eric Wagaman who stole the spotlight. And the defining moment of the Marlins’ 8-3 comeback win at loanDepot park ultimately belonged to a 5-foot-7, 150-pound utility man who stepped in the batter’s box after Luzardo exited in the sixth.
