Joe Mack scored the winning run in the ninth inning on a throwing error by third baseman Coby Mayo, and the Miami Marlins beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-3 on Thursday night to avoid a series sweep and snap a four-game losing streak.<\/p>\n
Mack, called up from the minors on Monday, hit a two-out double off Andrew Kittredge (0-1) before Javier Sanoja sent a grounder to third. Mayo bobbled the ball and then made a wild throw to first base, allowing Mack to score.<\/p>\n
Pete Alonso tied it for Baltimore in the eighth with a run-scoring single that stretched his season-high hitting streak to eight games. He finished the series in Miami with four hits, six RBIs and a homer.<\/p>\n
Calvin Faucher (3-2) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.<\/p>\n
Liam Hicks gave the Marlins their first lead of the three-game series with his ninth home run \u2014 a 386-foot drive against Cade Povich in the first that drove in Connor Norby and gave Hicks a major league-leading 34 RBIs.<\/p>\n
Norby added a run-scoring single in the third.<\/p>\n
Povich exited with left forearm discomfort after three innings. He allowed three hits and three runs with one strikeout before being relieved by Yennier Cano.<\/p>\n
Otto Lopez had two hits for the Marlins, including a leadoff single in the eighth, to stretch his hitting streak to 10 games. The shortstop has hit safely in 32 of Miami’s first 38 games this season.<\/p>\n
Gunnar Henderson and Tyler O’Neill each hit an RBI single against Marlins starter Max Meyer, who struck out five and gave up six hits in five innings.<\/p>\n
