Adley Rutschman had a go-ahead, pinch-hit single and Leody Taveras followed with a run-scoring single in the ninth inning to lift the Baltimore Orioles past the Miami Marlins 9-7 on Tuesday night, snapping a five-game skid.<\/p>\n
The switch-hitting Rutschman replaced the lefty-swinging Samuel Basallo \u2014 who tripled, doubled and singled earlier \u2014 to face lefty Andrew Nardi (2-2). Rutschman hit a liner to left that scored Taylor Ward from second. Taveras’ single to right scored Pete Alonso. Both Ward and Alonso had reached on walks.<\/p>\n
Basallo drove in four runs and Alonso doubled and walked twice and scored four times for the Orioles. Rico Garc\u00eda (3-0) got the last four outs for the win.<\/p>\n
Liam Hicks homered and had three singles and three RBIs for the Marlins.<\/p>\n
Miami rookie Joe Mack hit a one-out single against Andrew Kittredge in the eighth. Esteury Ru\u00edz pinch ran for Mack and advanced on Owen Caissie’s walk. Ru\u00edz then stole third on the front end of a double steal and raced home on a throwing error by Orioles catcher Basallo to tie it at 7.<\/p>\n
Basallo hit an RBI triple, then scored on a fielder’s choice by Colton Cowser in the fifth to make it 7-4 and chase Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara.<\/p>\n
The Marlins got within 7-6 on consecutive homers from Hicks and Otto L\u00f3pez against reliever Anthony Nu\u00f1ez in the seventh.<\/p>\n
In his shortest outing of the season, Alcantara gave up seven runs and eight hits, while striking out five over 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Hicks’ two-RBI single in the second tied it at 3-all after the Orioles struck quickly against Alcantara with a three-run first.<\/p>\n
Alonso put Baltimore ahead 2-0 with a two-run double and scored on Basallo’s double.<\/p>\n
Miami chipped away in the bottom half against Baltimore starter Chris Bassitt when Xavier Edwards singled, advanced to third on Hicks’ single and scored on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n
Bassitt allowed four runs and six hits in four innings. He walked three and struck out three.<\/p>\n
Marlins reliever William Kempner pitched a perfect eighth in his major league debut.<\/p>\n
