Owen Caissie went 3-for-3 with a double, a homer, and three RBI in Friday’s win over the Giants.
Caissie has now homered in back-to-back games for the Marlins and has three homers in the month of June. The lefty got the best of Giants starter Landen Roupp in the first inning to put the Marlins up 1-0, and later doubled off Roupp in the fifth inning to drive in Javier Sanoja to put the Marlins up 2-1, and would come up big again in the seventh inning when his sacrifice fly again drove in Sanoja to put the Marlins up 4-3. For a player who entered the day slashing .091/.189/.303 in the month of June, Friday’s 3-for-3 should serve as a bit of a confidence booster for Caissie. While it’s an encouraging sign, there’s still a lot for Caissie to figure out and the Marlins decision to limit him against lefties puts a hard cap on his fantasy upside.
