MIAMI -- Derek Dietrich won the game and lost his shirt.The pinch-hitters game-ending RBI triple with two out in the ninth inning helped the Miami Marlins beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 Sunday for split of their four-game series.The Marlins celebration began as Dietrich rounded third. Teammates doused him with water and then tore off his jersey.I cant say I havent walked around with my shirt off before, Dietrich said. It was a little uncomfortable, but it was a fun moment.And what shape is the shirt in?Its gone, he said. Its probably in half.The score was tied with two out in the ninth when Adeiny Hechavarria -- who had made a costly throwing error earlier -- singled off Matt Bowman (1-3). Dietrich then hit a drive into the left-field gap, and center fielder Tommy Phams try at a sliding backhanded catch failed, allowing Hechavarria to score without a play.Pham said he got his glove on the ball but didnt go after it full bore because left fielder Jeremy Hazelbaker was also in pursuit.I couldnt dive, because if Id have dove, Id have dove right into him, Pham said. So I had to slide. It should have been caught by one of the two of us.Hazelbaker agreed.That ball has got to be caught, he said.The teams finished their season series with Miami leading St. Louis by one game in the NL wild-card race.Andrew Cashner allowed one earned run in six innings in his Marlins debut. Cashner, the centerpiece of a seven-player trade Friday with San Diego, walked none and allowed four hits, including a homer by Greg Garcia.Cardinals shortstop Aledmys Diaz left the game in the first inning with a bruised right hand after being hit by a pitch. Diaz, who is hitting .312 with 14 homers, is to undergo further examinations Monday.Carlos Martinez hit Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton in the bottom of the first. There were no subsequent incidents, but Cashner took a postgame jab at the Cardinals.I kind of thought they hit (Giancarlo) on purpose, Cashner said. Thats kind of the Cardinal way.Cashner, who has a history of similar episodes with the Cardinals, noted he hit Diaz with an 0-2 pitch.Its never a spot where I want to hit a guy, he said.Cashner was in line for the victory until the Cardinals made it 4-all with two runs in the eighth off Fernando Rodney, and the tying run scored on an ugly throwing error by shortstop Hechavarria.That was one that we fought hard to get back into, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. It was a shame to let it go.Miami bounced back thanks to Dietrich, who said his walk-off hit was the first of his career. He stepped to the plate in a 4-for-50 slump while adjusting to a part-time role with the return Thursday of second baseman Dee Gordon from an 80-game suspension.Dietrich said he has no complaints about the demotion.Nothing changes for me, he said. Im always ready and Im expecting to help every day.SUZUKI UPDATEMiamis Ichiro Suzuki popped out as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and remained at 2,998 career hits. Suzuki went 2 for 17 on the Marlins homestand while starting just twice.Hes swinging at some balls out of the strike zone, which is a little bit not like him, manager Don Mattingly said. Mattingly declined to say whether Suzuki will start Monday at Wrigley Field.GROOMINGCashner said he was excited to join a contending team, and willingly shaved his long beard to adhere to the Marlins policy of no facial hair.Removing the beard wasnt easy, though.It took a while, Cashner said with a laugh. It was not fun. It started bleeding a little bit. It has been a while since my face has seen the sun. But they told me that was the rule. Im fine with that. Im all on board.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: 3B Jhonny Peralta (thumb) began a rehab assignment Sunday at Single-A Palm Beach, and IF Matt Carpenter (oblique) began a rehab assignment at Double-A Springfield.Marlins: RHP Colin Rea, acquired with Cashner in the trade, will undergo an MRI Monday on his sprained elbow Monday to determine the extent of the injury.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- As Usain Bolt parties in London, around 30 Olympic medalists including nine champions have headed to Switzerland for the first major track and field meeting since the Rio de Janeiro Games.Still, none are named Bolt -- now being photographed daily outside nightclubs by British paparazzi -- and without the sports biggest star there are unsold tickets for the Athletissima meet in the Diamond League series.Bolts absence lets fellow Jamaican sprint gold medalists Elaine Thompson and Omar McLeod take center stage at the 14,000-capacity stadium in the International Olympic Committees home city of Lausanne.Meet director Jacky Delapierre said the stadium would have been sold out for sure if Bolt was running, though noted the sport must get ready for a new era.We have to be prepared for the future without Bolt, Delapierre, who has worked in track for nearly 40 years, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. We are at the end of a cycle now.Delapierre is in talks to bring Bolt back to Lausanne for likely the last time next July ahead of the 2017 world championships in London.You can have a show without Bolt, the veteran organizer said, reminding that the stadium was full for his July 2015 meeting. You have to sell a show. There (are) new athletes.Freshening up tracks headline series is a priority for meet directors, who plan talks in Brussels next month after the Diamond League finals program. Some already met with IAAF Presiddent Sebastian Coe in Rio this month, Delapierre said.ddddddddddddI think athletics has a good future beside Bolt, he said, urging the sport to work now on finding a new vision. We have not to wait for one more year with Bolt.Looking to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the 22-year-old McLeod could build on his 110 meters hurdles gold to become a star.I know for sure the sport wont die when Bolt is gone, the former University of Arkansas student told The AP. I know that there are a lot of athletes who will step up to the plate, especially in the sprints.McLeod acknowledged that, although Bolts showmanship cant be copied, athletes need to entertain the crowds.I definitely think personality goes a long way, he said. People pay to see personality, people pay to see fast times.Olympic champions also in action Thursday include 100 and 200 champion Thompson in the shorter event, while Bolts 4x100 relay teammate Asafa Powell headlines the mens 100.Matthew Centrowitz, the 1,500 champion, runs in a rare 1,000-meter race, and other United States gold medalists include Dalilah Muhammad in the 400 hurdles, Michelle Carter in shot put, and Tianna Bartoletta in long jump.In the 100 hurdles, Kendra Harrison aims at the 12.20 seconds world record she set in London last month after missing out on selection for the American Olympic team.
