Miami initially seized control in the second inning when Javier Sanoja tripled, driving in two runs, followed by Mack's sacrifice fly to build a 3-0 lead.

The Marlins appeared to create crucial separation in the top of the seventh, pushing their lead to 7-4 on Stowers' double and Edwards' subsequent single.
