     The Miami Marlins avoided a three-game weekend series sweep with a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies in 10 innings on Sunday at loanDepot park. The Marlins stopped a season-high, eight-game losing streak, The Fish are off tomorrow and face the Tampa Bay Rays away on Tuesday. 
     Colorado(39-60) pulled out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the fifth. Brenton Doyle lifted a solo home run to left field for his seventh homer in 2023. 
     Miami(54-47) leaped ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth. Luis Arraez doubled into the left-center field gap to score Nick Fortes. Three batters later, Yuli Gurriel hit a sacrifice fly to center and Arraez crossed the plate. 
     The Rockies evened it 2-2 in the ninth inning. Randal Grichuk pounded a solo homer to left-center field for his sixth homer this season.
     In the 10th inning, the Marlins got the victory. Arraez knocked in Joey Wendle with a base hit into right field. It was the first walk-off hit by Arraez in his Major League Baseball career.
