In the first inning, Miami(37-36) zoomed out to a 1-0 lead against Daisuke Matsuzaka. Rafael Furcal led off with a triple into right field. Adeiny Hechavarria then grounded out to second for Furcal to score.
The Marlins extended their lead to 3-0 during the seventh inning with Vic Black on the mound for New York(33-41). Jake Marisnick got a one-out single to center and stole second then pinch-hitter Justin Boar walked. Marisnick would steal third and advanced home on a throwing error.
