A Power-ful Performance In Columbus

The birth of Paul Herrin's first child kept him away from Opening Day for the first time in several years, but that's okay: Miami has a new ace ready to step in.

Dylan Powers, acquired in an offseason trade with the Montreal Expos, threw an eight inning gem, striking out ten and allowing five hits on four walks while holding Columbus scoreless.

Columbus starter Yong-jun Jang was nearly as good, going seven while striking out four, but a single, a wild pitch, a groundout, and another single gave Miami the only run they'd need all night.

New closer Pedro Llopiz shut down Columbus on six pitches, including a strikeout, to earn the first save of his season as Miami seeks another Conference title.
