Johnson’s RBI Double In 9th Lifts Marlins Past Padres, 7-6

MIAMI (AP) — Chris Johnson’s run-scoring ground-rule double with two outs in the bottom of the ninth gave the Miami Marlins a 7-6 win over the San Diego Padres on Friday night.

The Marlins scored three runs in the eighth to tie it before Johnson gave the Marlins their third walk-off win of the season. Johnson hit a deep fly ball to right-center field that took one bounce before landing in the Marlins’ bullpen. Center fielder Travis Jankowski converged on the ball, but was unable to make the catch.

Martin Prado, Christian Yelich, and Marcell Ozuna each drove in two runs for the Marlins.
