MIAMI (AP) \u2014 Max Meyer<\/a> allowed two runs in five innings to win his eighth consecutive decision to start the season, Heriberto Hern\u00e1ndez homered and the Miami Marlins<\/a> beat the San Francisco Giants<\/a> 6-3 on Saturday for their seventh straight victory at home.<\/p>\n

Jakob Marsee<\/a> doubled and singled for the Marlins, who are 13-4 in June and improved to 39-38 to move above .500 for the first time since April 13, when they were 9-8.<\/p>\n

Meyer (8-0) labored through his outing, allowing seven hits, striking out seven and walking two. But he completed a perfect fifth to surpass Dontrelle Willis in franchise history to start the season with eight straight wins. Willis won his first seven decisions in 2005.<\/p>\n

Casey Schmitt<\/a> doubled twice and homered for the Giants, who stranded nine runners.<\/p>\n

The Marlins chased Giants starter Trevor McDonald<\/a> (2-5) during a four-run fourth. Hernandez\u2019s two-run blast against reliever Matt Gage<\/a> capped the scoring and put Miami ahead 6-2. Marsee also hit an RBI single and Otto L\u00f3pez scored from third on a double-play groundout with the bases loaded.<\/p>\n

With this single in the fourth, L\u00f3pez became the first player to reach 100 hits in the majors this season.<\/p>\n

Schmitt\u2019s RBI double in the eighth narrowed the gap before Pete Fairbanks<\/a> pitched a perfect ninth for his 11th save.<\/p>\n

McDonald allowed five runs and three hits in three-plus innings. He walked three and hit three batters. It was the right-hander\u2019s second consecutive outing in which he failed to complete four innings.<\/p>\n

The Giants erased their second one-run deficit in the early innings with Schmitt\u2019s solo homer in the fourth, his 16th. <\/p>\n

Xavier Edwards<\/a> reached on a fielding error by McDonald that allowed Joe Mack<\/a> to score from third and give the Marlins a 2-1 lead in the second. <\/p>\n

Owen Caissie<\/a> walked with the bases loaded in the first to put Miami on the board.<\/p>\n

San Francisco tied it on Drew Gilbert<\/a>\u2019s RBI single in the second.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

RHP Logan Webb<\/a> (4-4, 3.46 ERA) will start the series finale for the Giants on Sunday against Marlins RHP Ryan Gusto<\/a> (0-2, 7.24).<\/p>\n
