Handed an early 1-0 lead, starting pitcher Elieser Hernández labored through a five-run first inning (although sloppy fielding was to blame for the final two runs in the frame). It would prove to be Miami's night, however, as the Marlins plated four runs in the fifth inning—including a two-RBI single from Isan Díaz—to take the lead. They never looked back, scoring nine unanswered runs prior to Jarlin García's shaky ninth inning.
Starlin Castro collected another two hits to remain red-hot.
