The Miami Marlins got their first win of the season last night in a roller-coaster affair that saw them give back a seven-run lead in just one inning to the Tampa Bay Rays. But none of that mattered by the tenth inning because young stud left fielder Christian Yelich walked off with a bases-loaded single.

Go easy on that hoop, Dee. You might need it later this season, since Yelich said after his humiliation, “That’s their thing this year, so you’re gonna have to watch out.” Yessssss. The logical continuation of that: A league-wide, season-long, postgame interview dunk contest. Next time, Dee Gordon can channel that other dunkmaster named Dee:
