In the next inning the Marlins jumped ahead 2-1 after Mat Latos hit and RBI single off Jordan Zimmerman. Then right after Dee Gordon drove in Adeiny Hechavarria with a single.

Again in the sixth Bryce Harper got on base with an RBI single scoring Denard Span to tie the game at two a piece.

Miami's third baseman Martin Prado scored the go ahead run in the eighth leading the Marlins to their sixth win of the season.

Bryan Morris got the win while pitching a hittless inning. The save was given to Steve Cishek who also gave up no hits while walking no one.
