Javier Baez later singled into center field and Torkelson scored. Two batters later, Cabrera doubled to the left-field wall for Riley Greene and Baez to cross the plate. 

     Miami(57-49) tied it to 4-4 in the bottom of the fifth. Avisail Garcia scored on an infield base hit by Yuli Gurriel to the right side. Two batters later, Nick Fortes knocked in Gurriel with a double into left field. Garrett Hampson followed with a double into the left-field corner which brought in Jean Segura and Fortes. 

     The Marlins capped the contest 8-6 in the eighth inning. Segura blasted a solo home run to center field on a 2-2 pitch for just his third homer with his team.
