MIAMI | Owen Caissie hit a walk-off, two-run homer to give the Miami Marlins a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday and complete a sweep of their season-opening series.<\/p>\n

Javier Sanoja doubled with two outs in the ninth inning against Rockies reliever Victor Vodnik (0-1) before Caissie drilled a change-up from Vodnik over the wall in right field.<\/p>\n

In addition to going deep, Caissie doubled twice and batted 5 for 10 over the three-game set.<\/p>\n

Sanoja, Otto L\u00f3pez and Xavier Edwards had two hits each for the Marlins. Michael Petersen (1-0) got the win, throwing a perfect ninth.<\/p>\n

The Rockies struck quickly against Marlins starter Max Meyer on Jordan Beck\u2019s three-run double in the first.<\/p>\n

Miami chipped away at the early deficit when L\u00f3pez hit an RBI double in the first and Austin Slater added a sacrifice fly in the second.<\/p>\n

Rockies starter Jos\u00e9 Quintana was lifted after 4 1\/3 innings and 78 pitches of two-run ball. Quintana gave up four hits, struck out two and walked four.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old Quintana began his 15th season with Sunday\u2019s outing. Quintana pitched for eight previous clubs before Colorado signed him to a free agent deal in the offseason.<\/p>\n

Meyer settled down after the first and kept the Rockies scoreless through the remainder of his five-inning outing. He allowed five hits, struck out five and walked two.<\/p>\n

Miami\u2019s Deyvison De Los Santos doubled in his first major league at-bat in the second. De Los Santos was recalled from Triple-A Saturday.<\/p>\n
