Jazz Chisholm Jr homered for the second time this season and Lucius Fox received his second Major League Baseball start Tuesday night.

Chisholm hit a game tying two run shot in the eighth inning but the Marlins eventually fell 4-3 to the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

His 353 foot shot over the short wall in right field off Angels reliever Mike Mayers scored Jon Berti to tie the game 3-3.

The Angels went on to win in walk-off fashion as they swept the series.

The Angels’ Tyler Wade who would eventually go on to score the go ahead run, entered as a pinch runner in the ninth.

His attempt to steal second base initially appeared to be unsuccessful when he slid past the bag, and Chisholm applied the tag, but he was ruled safe after a review.

“He was out,” Chisholm told reporters after the game, “His heart was beating really fast, so I think he knew he was out, too.”

Wade took third on a wild pitch and scored on a Max Stassi RBI single.

Chisholm’s first home run of the season came on opening day in the Marlins’ 6-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

Also on Tuesday night, Fox got his second start of the season at shortstop for the Washington Nationals in a 16-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia.

Fox went hitless and was not in the lineup in yesterday’s series finale, a 3-1 win for the Nationals.

Last Sunday, he made Bahamian history with his MLB debut.

Fox got the start at shortstop, flashed his defensive prowess on one side of the ball, and got his first RBI of his MLB career with a squeeze bunt in the Nationals’ 4-2 win over the New York Mets at Nationals Park in Washington, DC.

The 24-year-old infielder also scored the game’s final run to lead the Nationals to their first win of the season as he became the eighth Bahamian to play in the MLB.
