The Marlins avoided a three-game sweep and won for just the second time in their past 11 games. The D-backs had their three-game winning streak snapped.
David Brandt Associated Press PHOENIX — The Marlins have found themselves on the losing end of most close games this year.Miami turned a competitive afternoon into a comfortable win Wednesday, riding big swings by Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Avisaíl García to an eight-run ninth inning and an 11-3 victory over the Diamondbacks.
The Marlins have already lost 10 one-run games this season, and it looked as if another heartbreak might be coming. García capped the Miami's big ninth with another three-run shot off J.B. Wendelken. It was García's second at-bat of the inning after he started the rally with a walk. Luplow's homer denied a win for Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara, who permitted one run and two hits over seven innings.
