     Miami(28-43) made it a four-run gap in the third inning. Realmuto pounded a two-run home to left-center field on the first pitch. Brian Anderson scored in front of him on the play.
     Baltimore(19-50) cut into the deficit during the bottom of the third. Manny Machado drove in Austin Wynns and Adam Jones on a single to right field.
     The Fish put up another run in the top of the sixth for a 5-2 margin. Realmuto connected with his second home run of the contest. This time it was on a 3-1 count to center field.
