Xavier Edwards has MLB's first three-triple game since 2014 as Marlins rout Blue Jays 15-5

TORONTO — Xavier Edwards had the first three-triple game in the majors since 2014, Jonah Bride homered twice and the Miami Marlins set a season high in runs by routing the Toronto Blue Jays 15-5 on Friday night.

Edwards hit a sharp grounder down the right-field line for a triple in the second inning, got another three-bagger in the fourth on a fly ball to the gap in right-center and hit a line drive in the seventh that one-hopped the wall in right for his third triple. He became the first Marlins player with three triples in a game and finished 4 for 6 with four RBIs and two runs scored.

''I was confident in all three of them,'' Edwards said. ''I didn't hesitate.''

Midway through the game, the Marlins announced that manager Skip Schumaker would miss the final two games because of a family medical issue. Bench coach Luis Urueta will lead the team this weekend.

Schumaker said he told the players about his upcoming absence in an ''emotional'' team meeting after batting practice.

Marlins slugger Jake Burger called Schumaker ''one of the best in the biz.'' Schumacher's contract expires at the end of the season.

''He helped with a lot of stuff, not only on the field but off the field,'' Burger said.

''Great person, great manager, great baseball mind,'' Edwards said. ''I love playing for Skip.''

Marlins outfielder Griffin Conine homered against the team that drafted him in 2018 and drove in three runs.

Bride hit a two-run homer in the first inning and added a solo blast in the eighth, his 11th of the season, in the first multi-homer game of his career.

Burger had three hits and drove in a pair of runs, and Jesús Sánchez scored three times as the Marlins racked up 17 hits, including one against position player Tyler Heineman in the ninth inning.

Adam Oller (2-4) came in 0-3 with a 6.43 ERA in four September starts but snapped his losing streak by allowing four runs and eight hits in five innings. Oller walked two and struck out three.

Sánchez opened the scoring with an RBI double off José Berríos in the first and Bride followed with a drive to left.

Edwards' two-run triple in the second made it 5-0, and Sánchez scored on a wild pitch in the third.

''I think we're all running off a lot of adrenaline tonight,'' Edwards said.

Berríos (16-11) allowed six runs and six hits in three innings in his final start of the season, as many runs as he'd allowed in his previous five starts combined. The right-hander lost his second straight start after winning the previous seven.

''Frustrating that that's his last outing for the year,'' Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. ''Tonight he just didn't really have his stuff.''

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2 for 4 with an RBI. He has 199 hits, the second-highest total in the majors behind Kansas City's Bobby Witt Jr.
