Nearly eight years after groundbreaking, The Underline is celebrating a new milestone: the completion of its 10-mile, bike-and-walk path, named after a buzzy billionaire whose moniker seems to be taking over Miami.

The Royals gained 55 yards on the drive, and David Beltran added 30, including the final three yards for the touchdown.
