In the tenth inning, Miami(45-73) mounted a rally to take the lead against Kelvin Herrera. Jake Marisnick led off as he was hit by a pitch and advanced to second when Jeff Mathis struck out. Christian Yelich followed with a single through the right side for Marisnick to score.
Marlins starting pitcher Jose Fernandez allowed no runs on three hits and struck out six batters in seven innings. Kansas City(62-55) starter Bruce Chen had the same pitching line as he gave no runs on three hits in seven innings.
