Miami Marlins working to plug leaks in Marlins Park’s roof

With the roof closed more than expected, the Marlins learned that leaks must be fixed and that the outfield grass needs some care.

Marlins president David Samson said it was going to take the organization all year to work out the kinks at the new ballpark.
