Marlins Strike Giants

     The Miami Marlins stopped the San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Saturday night at Oracle Park. The Marlins are 21-12 in San Francisco since 2010.
     Neither team scored until the seventh inning. Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner surrendered two runs in the top of the frame. Jorge Alfaro smacked a two-run homer on a 0-1 pitch to left-center field with Starlin Castro aboard which gave Miami(52-96) a 2-0 lead.
     San Francisco(71-78) matched it in the bottom half of the inning. Donovan Solano tripled into the right-center field gap and it scored Brandon Crawford along with Maurucio Dubon.
     In the eighth inning, the Marlins compiled two more runs to regain the lead. Miguel Rojas knocked in Magneuris Sierra on a double to deep left field. Lewis Brinson followed with a base hit to right and Rojas crossed the plate.
