MIAMI, Fla.—It’s another Marlins win! The M was flipped on Saturday for the sixth time in seven games, but this one was an emotional rollercoaster that required an extra-inning walk-off.
Sandy Alcantara cruised through much of his outing, keeping the lefty-heavy Giants lineup off the scoreboard until the seventh inning.

Starling Marte continues to contribute in all aspects of the game, including a run-scoring single that tied things up in the bottom of the ninth.
The calls for removing Corey Dickerson from the leadoff spot have been getting louder, but guess who matched his career-high with a four-hit performance?

Rookie phenom Jazz Chisholm Jr. also reached base safely four times and sprinted home on Jorge Alfaro’s decisive double.
It must have been a proud occasion for general manager Kim Ng. The team she has assembled on a shoestring budget now owns the best run differential in the National League East.
