MIAMI (AP) \u2014 Sandy Alcantara<\/a> struck out seven in seven innings of one-run ball, Otto L\u00f3pez doubled and tripled, and the Miami Marlins<\/a> beat the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> 4-1 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Kyle Stowers<\/a> singled and hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly for the Marlins, who clinched the three-game series and finished 3-3 against their in-state rival this season.<\/p>\n

A day after using seven pitchers in a 4-3 win, the Marlins counted on Alcantara (5-4) to provide length. And the veteran right-hander responded with his second consecutive outing of seven innings or more and fifth of the season. Alcantara scattered five hits, walked one and hit a batter.<\/p>\n

Michael Petersen<\/a> relieved Alcantara and threw a perfect eighth. Anthony Bender<\/a> worked around a leadoff walk for his second save.<\/p>\n

L\u00f3pez hit a one-out RBI triple and scored on Stowers\u2019 fly to deep left to give Miami a 2-1 lead in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Garrett Cleavinger<\/a> (1-2) relieved Tampa Bay starter Griffin Jax<\/a> and walked Liam Hicks<\/a>. L\u00f3pez followed with a drive toward the warning track in right-center, scoring Hicks from first.<\/p>\n

The Marlins increased the lead to 4-1 against former starter Steven Matz<\/a> in the seventh without a base hit.<\/p>\n

Esteury Ruiz<\/a> and Jakob Marsee<\/a> drew one-out walks and successfully completed a double steal. They both scored when catcher Hunter Feduccia<\/a> dropped shortstop Taylor Walls<\/a>\u2019 throw after Walls fielded a grounder hit by Joe Mack<\/a> and attempted to throw out Ruiz at the plate.<\/p>\n

Yandy D\u00edaz put Tampa Bay on the board with an RBI single in the third. Walls reached on a fielder\u2019s choice and then stole second before D\u00edaz hit a line drive that dropped in centerfield.<\/p>\n

Jax allowed three hits as he matched a season-high five innings. He walked two and struck out four.<\/p>\n
