Marlins Win at New York, 5-3
Florida pitcher Al Leiter did his part in helping his team beat the New York Yankees, 5-3. The left-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Leiter got the win, improving to 7-6. He allowed 6 hits and walked 0 over 8 innings. Leiter allowed 3 earned runs. Florida is now 50-29, 6 games up in the Federal League East Division.

One of the stars of the game was Florida first baseman Richie Sexson. In the top of the third with no one out, he got a changeup from Brian Moehler and hit a 3-run home run. That made the score 4-0 in favor of the Marlins.

Leiter attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
