MIAMI -- Christian Yelich was confident he was safe at home even if home plate umpire Ed Hickox called him out. Replay backed him up. Adeiny Hechavarria immediately followed the ruling with a go-ahead sacrifice fly for the Miami Marlins, who held on to beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Sunday completing a three-game sweep. "I thought I beat it from the get-go and then I saw him call me out, I kind of started yelling at him a little bit telling him I was safe," Yelich said. "If we didnt have replay right there, its a 2-1 game and we got two outs so it was huge. It was a big win for us." Yelich led off the inning with a double that extended his hitting streak to 14 games. He scored the tying run. Steve Cishek made it interesting in the ninth, allowing a leadoff double to Corey Hart. Hechavarria then made a diving stop at shortstop and a spinning throw to nab Dustin Ackley at first base preventing pinch-runner Brad Miller from scoring. "That was a game-saver," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Thats why I feel that guy is the best shortstop in the league. Im glad hes on our team. That was a huge play." Cishek struck out Nick Franklin and Michael Saunders to end the game for his third save and 32nd consecutive conversion. A crowd of 20,208 took in the first day game this season at Marlins Park with the retractable roof open. It was 78 degrees when the game began and shadows partially covered the infield when the game ended. "Shadows came over the infield, which makes it tough for hitters, but at the same time, too, we mounted our rally with the shadows," Redmond said. "Maybe were shadow-friendly." Mike Dunn (1-2) pitched a scoreless eighth for the Marlins, who have won four of five. Tom Wilhelmsen (0-1) took the loss for the Mariners, which lost their sixth straight. "Things just arent going well right now, but thats okay; well get out of this," Wilhelmsen said. "We have a much better team than what were showing." After Giancarlo Stanton and Casey McGehee were walked by Wilhelmsen to load the bases in the eighth with one out, Garrett Jones hit a groundball to first baseman Justin Smoak, whos throw home was late allowing Yelich to score the tying run. "I fielded it and threw it, but (Yelich) just got a heck of a jump," Smoak said. "It was a bang-bang play." Redmond immediately jumped out of the dugout to challenge the call, which was overturned after a delay of 2 minutes, 20 seconds. It was the second time replay was used in the series, which benefitted the Marlins. During Fridays game, replay determined that third baseman Kyle Seeger bobbled the ball during a transfer leaving the Marlins with the based loaded in the ninth before Giancarlo Stanton cleared them with a game-winning grand slam. "Its worked out well for us over the last couple of games, thats for sure," Redmond said. Seattle led 2-0 on a pair of sacrifice flies by Smoak and Ackley. Mariners starter Brandon Maurer held the Marlins without a hit until the fifth inning when Jones reached base on an infield single. Donnavan Solano ended Maurers outing two batters later with an RBI single to pull the Marlins to 2-1. Maurer allowed one run, two hits, and two walks in 4 1-3 innings in his season debut. "He was tired; he was exhausted," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "We knew that was going to be a pitch-count (situation) anyway. He did good in the time he was in there."

Evgeni Nabokov made 23 saves for his 56th career shutout in the New York Islanders 3-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Ed Reed is unsure what his football future holds. The veteran safety would like to keep playing, and for Rex Ryan and the New York Jets. Retirement cant be ruled out, either, but he expects to be in someones secondary next season. "Theres 32 teams, man," Reed said Monday as the players cleared out their lockers. "I know Im going to be ready to play football next year." Reeds first order of business will be to get an MRI on his surgically repaired hip for "total maintenance" and then mull his options. The 35-year-old safety had three interceptions in seven games with the Jets, who signed him after he was cut by the Houston Texans. But Reed, who had off-season hip surgery, appeared to lose a step from being the perennial Pro Bowl playmaker he was in 11 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. "I think I was pretty good for having two hip surgeries," Reed said, "and being able to play in this defence after being on another team, first year through free agency. "I have no regrets." Reed and Ryan are close from their days together in Baltimore, but its uncertain if the Jets would be open to bringing him back next season unless its at a veterans minimum salary. Both Ryan and defensive co-ordinator raved about Reeds influence on the teams young defensive backs. Reed wouldnt rule out coming back, saying his familiarity with the defence would be a major consideration. "If the team will allow me," Reed said. "And if everything goes according to my off-season, yeaah.dddddddddddd" Reed, who has 65 career interceptions, had surgery on his hip in April and acknowledged that a full off-season and being healthy would help him going into next season. But he also bristled at a reporters question as to whether people in New York had seen the "real" Reed. "The real Ed Reed?" he asked. "Im in my 12th year. I know how to play this game. Ive played this game a certain way for a long time. The real Ed Reed was here. My expectations for myself are higher than you all could ever be. "The standard has been set high, but like Ive said, I set that standard." While hed still like to play, the safety said he came close to retiring three or four years ago. "So, theres always that possibility," Reed said. "Thats something Ive always evaluated after every season since my first year. Its a violent sport. The sport is changing a lot and organizations are changing. Its just a different game." ---- NOTES: K Nick Folk, set to become a free agent, would like to return on a multiyear deal after going 33 of 36 on field-goal attempts. "I think Ive done my part," he said. ... WR Stephen Hill said no off-season surgery is planned on his ailing left knee that landed him on injured reserve for the last three games of the season. ... DT Sheldon Richardson, the No. 13 overall pick, predicted a few accolades will be heading his way. "I am the defensive rookie of the year," Richardson said. "I dont have odds. Thats just how I feel."
