MIAMI -- Jake Marisnick is part of the Miami Marlins young core of players that the franchise is building around. Marisnick, a 22-year old outfielder, hit his first major league home run to help lift the Marlins to a 3-2 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday night. "It felt good," Marisnick said. "It was the first at-bat where I really slowed everything down." Miami starter Henderson Alvarez (2-1) pitched into the eighth inning. He allowed two runs and six hits in 7 1-3 innings, and had two hits and scored a run, too. "I felt I prepared well, and all of my pitches were working good tonight," Alvarez said. Alvarez is 2-0 with a 1.33 ERA in his last four starts. Marisnick and Alvarez were acquired from Toronto, along with shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, in Novembers blockbuster trade that sent veterans Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, John Buck, and Emilio Bonifacio to the Blue Jays. "I think you realize how good of players we got in that trade and how much those guys are going to be a big part of not only this team this year, but the future," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "These guys can play." Giancarlo Stanton and Placido Polanco also drove in a run each for the Marlins, who dropped the first two games of the four-game series with the Mets. Mike Dunn got four outs for his second save in place of Steve Cishek, who pitched two innings and took the loss in Tuesdays 4-2 loss to New York. Dunn issued a leadoff single to Buck before retiring the next three batters to end the game. "That was his inning," Redmond said. "We want him to go out there and not have a guy warming up in the bullpen behind him and let him take that inning and see what he could do. "He did a great job." Marisnick homered off of Jenrry Mejia (1-1) in the second inning to give the Marlins a 1-0 lead. He was hitting .179 (5 for 28) in his first eight games before the home run. "It was honestly the farthest thing from my mind," said Marisnick, who initially received the customary silent treatment from his teammates in the dugout after the home run. Mejia gave up three runs in six innings. Eric Young nearly matched Marisnicks homer in the third inning, but his long drive to centre field hit the top of the fence and stayed in play. Umpires used video replay and upheld the original call, giving Young a triple. He was stranded at third base. "I thought it came off the wall funny," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Thats why I went out. (Second base umpire) Andy Fletcher said, I know it came off the wall funny. Well take a look at it." Redmond had no complaints about the call. "I think they got it right," he said. The Marlins added to their lead in the bottom half of the third inning with back-to-back sacrifice flies by Polanco and Stanton that made it 3-0. New York broke through against Alvarez with an RBI double by Ike Davis in the sixth. It was the first run allowed by Alvarez in 18 innings, the longest streak by a Marlins pitcher this season. Young led off the eighth with a walk and advanced to third on a ground ball to Polanco at third. Alvarez was relieved by Chad Qualls, and Young scored on a passed ball to pull the Mets within 3-2. "I was just playing the percentages, who was at third base and who was at first base," Young said of his alert baserunning. "I felt good about going." David Wright singled, stole second, and advanced to third on a fly out. Dunn came in for Qualls and got pinch-hitter Josh Satin to fly out to left to end the inning. NOTES: Carlos Torres, New Yorks scheduled starter for Saturday, pitched a scoreless eighth inning. ... A video montage of Qualls celebration stumble from Tuesdays game was shown on the scoreboard hours before the game as the Marlins continued to laugh at their teammates expense. "We lost a tough game, but we all laughed about the whole situation," Redmond said. "That was great. Classic." ... Before the game Redmond praised Hechavarria for being the best defensive shortstop in the National League. "Ive not seen a better shortstop in this league than Hetch, and hopefully hell get the notoriety he deserves," Redmond said. ...

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is no stranger to opening the season with a redshirt freshman starter at quarterback.It worked out pretty well for the Seminoles three years ago with a guy named Jameis Winston, who won the Heisman Trophy as a redshirt freshman and led FSU to the 2013 national championship.Enter Deondre Francois, another redshirt freshman Fisher has been bullish about since the spring. Francois is set to make his first start Monday when No. 4 Florida State goes up against No. 11 Ole Miss (8 p.m. ET, ESPN) at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. Fisher seems more eager than antsy to see what Francois can do, even though the quarterback is a youngster on such a big stage.Part of that is Francois can play and has proved it on the Seminoles practice field. But another part is that the guy getting Francois ready to play has a proven track record when it comes to developing quarterbacks, and that goes for quarterbacks of all different styles and at a couple different places.Randy Sanders is one of the most underrated quarterback coaches in the country. He might not have the same fanfare as some of the other so-called quarterback gurus around the country, but Sanders has a résumé that puts fanfare to shame.Hes a great quarterbacks coach, the best Ive been around, said former Kentucky coach Joker Phillips, whos now working as a quality control assistant on Urban Meyers staff at Ohio State. Hes honest with his players, able to coach his guys hard because of his relationship with them and has a great football mind.Sanders, who doesnt do media interviews per Fishers policy at FSU, has worked with everybody from Peyton Manning to Tee Martin to Randall Cobb to Winston.The year after Manning left Tennessee, the Vols won the national championship with Martin taking over as quarterback. Sanders first game as Tennessees play-caller came in the 1998 national championship game after David Cutcliffe left his post as offensive coordinator to take the Ole Miss head coaching job.I just remember how calm he was, that nothing really rattled him, said Martin, now USCs co-offensive coordinator. It was the biggest game of his life, and hed just been put in that role as a young coach. His demeanor gave me confidence. Theres an air about him where hes tough on you but also puts you at ease because of how prepared he always is.You know you can trust him because of the way he sees the game. He makes you understand why hes calling what hes calling, and not a lot of coaches can do that.Sanders, 50, is entering his fourth season at FSU and his third as co-offensive coordinator. Fisher noted last season that he had given Sanders more of a role in calling the Seminoles plays, so its obvious Fisher has supreme confidence Sanders, who played quarterback at Tennessee and understands as well as anybody the pitfalls of playing and coaching the most important position on the field, especially when that guy is also the play-caller.Sanders was the scapegoat at Tennessee in 2005 when a quarterback controversy rocked the team, sending the Vols spiraling to the first losing season of longtime coach Phillip Fulmers career. The offense never got on track that season, and Sanders stepped down as offensive coordinator in the middle of the year. He remained on staff but was no longer the primary play-caller.When Cutcliffe returned to Tennessees staff the next season as offensive coordinator, Sanders went his own way and landed at Kentucky. It was a bitter pill for himm to swallow, leaving his alma mater in those circumstances, but he gained a ton of support in the coaching profession by the way he handled his exit.ddddddddddddHe didnt point fingers and never spoke publicly about being unfairly blamed for the Vols problems. Instead, he kept his head down and found a new coaching home.Thats Randy and why guys love playing for him, Martin said. Its never about him. Its always about the team and his players, doing what he can to make them better. Hell take the heat, but he lets everybody else take the credit.At Kentucky, Sanders helped turn Andre Woodson into an SEC record-holder, the same Woodson who was battling with Curtis Pulley just to win the starting quarterback job the previous spring. Woodson responded by throwing 71 touchdowns over the next two seasons, including an SEC-record 40 touchdowns as a senior in 2007.In 2009, Mike Hartline was the Wildcats starter until he injured his knee in the fifth game. Sanders was forced the juggle Cobb, Will Fidler and true freshman Morgan Newton at the quarterback position, and Kentucky was still able to make a bowl game.In 2010, Hartline bounced back from his knee injury to pass for 3,178 yards, 23 touchdowns and just nine interceptions. And in 2011, Sanders got receiver Matt Roark ready to play quarterback in the season finale after injuries sidelined Maxwell Smith and Newton, and Kentucky ended a 26-year losing streak against Tennessee with a 10-7 win over Sanders alma mater.Hartline, whos now a quarterback intern on Ohio States staff, said its no coincidence that Sanders has been around so many productive quarterbacks.He does an incredible job of knowing who he has at quarterback and understanding what that person can and cant do and then communicating to the head coach the best positions to put that guy in in order to be able to win games, Hartline said. Hes a very strict guy and cuts through all the B.S. really quickly and makes you understand what he expects out of you.I trusted him so much in the game plan that if I came out and had one of the best games of my career, and he came in the film room the next day and said that I played like crap, then I was convinced that I played like crap. He instilled confidence in guys, and thats what separates him from most coaches.Winston was 26-1 as a starter under Sanders tutelage at FSU in 2013 and 2014. And even last season, despite losing Winston, four offensive linemen, one of the nations top tight ends and the schools career leader in receptions, the Seminoles still averaged 31.7 points per game while playing two quarterbacks, Everett Golson and Sean Maguire.Maguire, who injured his foot in preseason camp, may be back sooner than expected, but its Francois show for now.Theres no doubting Francois skill set. He can throw it and also has the ability to extend the play and make things happen with his legs. The only thing working against him is his lack of experience.But thats where Sanders comes in.You judge a guy based on what he can bring out of his players, Martin said. With Randy, youre going to see the true identity of his quarterbacks, and thats whoever he coaches, whether its a pocket passer, dual-threat guy, a guy whos very talented or a guy with limited talent. Whoever it is, hes going to bring out the best in that quarterback, and hell do it again this year just like he always does. ' ' '
