ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — AL batting champion Luis Arraez has won his arbitration case and will get a $6.1 million salary from the Miami Marlins, who acquired the All-Star infielder from the Minnesota Twins last month. Miami argued for $5 million. Arraez hit .316 with eight homers, 49 RBIs and a .795 OPS last year. The 25-year-old was traded on Jan. 20 for starting pitcher Pablo López and a pair of prospects: infielder Jose Salas and outfielder Byron Chourio. Marlins left-hander Jesús Luzardo had his hearing Thursday. He asked for a raise from $715,000 to $2.45 million, and Miami proposed $2.1 million.
