MIAMI -- Christian Yelich was confident he was safe at home even if home plate
umpire Ed Hickox called him out.

Adeiny Hechavarria immediately followed the ruling with a go-ahead sacrifice fly
for the Miami Marlins, who held on to beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Sunday
completing a three-game sweep. "I thought I beat it from the get-go and then I
saw him call me out, I kind of started yelling at him a little bit telling him I
was safe," Yelich said. "If we didnt have replay right there, its a 2-1 game and
we got two outs so it was huge. It was a big win for us." Yelich led off the
inning with a double that extended his hitting streak to 14 games. He scored the
tying run. Steve Cishek made it interesting in the ninth, allowing a leadoff
double to Corey Hart. Hechavarria then made a diving stop at shortstop and a
spinning throw to nab Dustin Ackley at first base preventing pinch-runner Brad
Miller from scoring. "That was a game-saver," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said.
"Thats why I feel that guy is the best shortstop in the league. Im glad hes on
our team. That was a huge play." Cishek struck out Nick Franklin and
Michael Saunders to end the game for his third save and 32nd consecutive
conversion. A crowd of 20,208 took in the first day game this season at Marlins
Park with the retractable roof open. It was 78 degrees when the game began and
shadows partially covered the infield when the game ended. "Shadows came over
the infield, which makes it tough for hitters, but at the same time, too, we
mounted our rally with the shadows," Redmond said. "Maybe were shadow-friendly."
Mike Dunn (1-2) pitched a scoreless eighth for the Marlins, who have won four of
five. Tom Wilhelmsen (0-1) took the loss for the Mariners, which lost their
sixth straight. "Things just arent going well right now, but thats okay; well
get out of this," Wilhelmsen said. "We have a much better team than what were
showing." After Giancarlo Stanton and Casey McGehee were walked by Wilhelmsen to
load the bases in the eighth with one out, Garrett Jones hit a groundball to
first baseman Justin Smoak, whos throw home was late allowing Yelich to score
the tying run. "I fielded it and threw it, but (Yelich) just got a heck of a
jump," Smoak said. "It was a bang-bang play." Redmond immediately jumped out of
the dugout to challenge the call, which was overturned after a delay of 2
minutes, 20 seconds. It was the second time replay was used in the series, which
benefitted the Marlins. During Fridays game, replay determined that third
baseman Kyle Seeger bobbled the ball during a transfer leaving the Marlins with
the based loaded in the ninth before Giancarlo Stanton cleared them with a
game-winning grand slam. "Its worked out well for us over the last couple of
games, thats for sure," Redmond said. Seattle led 2-0 on a pair of sacrifice
flies by Smoak and Ackley. Mariners starter Brandon Maurer held the Marlins
without a hit until the fifth inning when Jones reached base on an infield
single. Donnavan Solano ended Maurers outing two batters later with an RBI
single to pull the Marlins to 2-1. Maurer allowed one run, two hits, and two
walks in 4 1-3 innings in his season debut. "He was tired; he was exhausted,"
Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "We knew that was going to be a
pitch-count (situation) anyway. He did good in the time he was in there." Miamis
Kevin Slowey pitched five innings allowing two runs. NOTES: Stanton was

will be ready to play Tuesday night at home against Seattle.The Canadian Soccer
Association is accusing a group of top women’s players of waiting “until what is
effectively the 11th hour” to complain that games during next year’s Women’s
World Cup will be played on artificial turf, and accuses lawyers for the players
of misrepresenting how many players are upset about the turf controversy. “The
use of high quality turf is integral to soccer in Canada and the CSA’s bid on
behalf of Canada to host the competition was always premised on the use of
turf,” the CSA wrote in a filing with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. “The
(women players) have been aware of this for at least a year and a half, and
probably for three years, since Canada was awarded the right to hold the
competition in 2011.” Last Thursday, the players filed a complaint with the
tribunal alleging they are victims of gender discrimination because male players
in the men’s World Cup only play that tournament on grass. Playing on artificial
turf leads to injury more frequently than on grass, the women complainants
charge. The complainants include Abby Wambach of the U.S. and Germanys Nadine
Angerer, FIFA players of the year for 2012 and 2013, respectively. The players
who filed the complaint charge FIFA is discriminating against women by having
the tournament played on artificial turf since the 2014 FIFA World Cup for men
in Brazil was played on grass. Some professional football leagues, including
Major League Soccer, and some FIFA World Cup matches, are played on artificial
turf. The women asked for the tribunal to fast-track their filed complaint,
since the World Cup begins in eight months. But the CSA says that those players
did not complain to FIFA and failed to file their complaint to the tribunal “in
a timely way.” “On this basis, not only should the demand for an expedited
hearing be rejected, but the CSA will be applying to dismiss the complaint in
its entirety for being out of time,” the CSA says in its filing. On March 21,
2013, over 18 months before the players filed their complaint, the match
schedule for the Women’s World Cup was announced indicating the stadiums to be
used. “That very day, Abby Wambach, one of the playerss listed in the complaint
and a major international soccer star, began tweeting about her opposition to
the matches being played on turf,” the CSA wrote.

discrimination in relation to the competition until this complaint was filed.”
The CSA’s filing late Thursday amounts to literally the first public statements
the organization has made about the controversy. “The assertion that turf fields
are ‘second class’ is highly contentious,” the CSA wrote. “The applicants cannot
seriously contend that the CSA’s decision to bid on the competition, proposing
to use Canada’s best available facilities, constitutes discrimination.” The CSA
said the complaint was filed as a way to publicize players’ dissatisfaction with
FIFA’s decision in Zurich in 2011, to allow Canada to host the games. Canadian
soccer officials say that while a lawyer for Wambach and other players contended
that 18 players were compainants, “the complaint is authorized to be brought by
only seven players who have delivered consents to counsel advancing the case.”
“None of the seven players (or even the 18) is resident in Ontario or plays on
an Ontario or on a Canadian team,” the CSA wrote. “They are not authorized to
and do not speak on behalf of the teams which have qualified or are attempting
to qualify for the competition.” The CSA also wrote that “most elite players
spend a significant amount of their playing time on turf. This is particularly
the case in Canada. If the complaint proceeds, the CSA will demonstrate that
there is no increased risk to players from the use of turf rather than grass.”
Data will not dispute the fact that grass has been used at every men’s and
women’s World Cup,” David Wright, a lawyer for the players, wrote in a letter
Friday to the human rights tribunal. “The fact that the women feel demeaned by
being forced to play on an inferior surface while millions watch is
indisputable. Applicants allege unequal, discriminatory treatment that does not
require extensive data and expert reports to prove, and the applicants deserve a
‘day in court’ before it is too late to remedy this injustice.”
