The Miami Marlins were down to their final strike of the game until Marcell Ozuna hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the ninth inning to give them a 2-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night at Chase Field. The Fish had five hits in the contest and won for the third time in four games.
Arizona(38-54) scored the first run of the game during the fifth inning against Brad Hand. Vidal Nuno led off and reached first on an error by Marlins third baseman Casey McGehee. Ender Inciarte then got on base with a bunt single. Aaron Hill followed with a base hit into right field for Nuno to score and make it 1-0.
Addison Reed was called in to get the save for the Diamondbacks in the ninth inning, but Miami(44-46) pulled off a comeback. Ed Lucas walked, Giancarlo Stanton struck out and McGehee lined out to center field. Ozuna, who extended his current hit streak to a league-high 14 games, homered to center field on a 2-2 pitch for his 15th home run of the season.
Hand went 6 1/3 innings and allowed one unearned run on eight hits. Steve Cishek notched his 20th save of the year for the Marlins with a scoreless ninth. Nuno, who make his Diamondbacks debut after being traded from the New York Yankees on Sunday, gave up no runs on three hits and struck out seven in seven innings.
