MIAMI (AP) \u2014 Brandon Nimmo<\/a> had three hits and walked once, Alejandro Osuna<\/a> hit a go-ahead RBI double and the Texas Rangers<\/a> beat the Miami Marlins<\/a> 4-3 on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Ezequiel Duran<\/a> homered and Joc Pederson<\/a> singled twice for the Rangers in the opener of a 10-game road trip.<\/p>\n

The loss snapped the Marlins\u2019 eight-game home win streak.<\/p>\n

For the second time in two weeks, the Tartan Army made its presence felt at a major league game that featured the Rangers. Scotland fans are in Miami for the national team\u2019s World Cup match against Brazil on Wednesday and many attended Monday\u2019s series opener bumping the attendance to 20,008. The lively atmosphere in the stands, including the popular chant, \u201cNo Scotland, No Party,\u201d resembled the Rangers-Red Sox game at Fenway Park on June 14.<\/p>\n

Nimmo doubled against Marlins reliever Calvin Faucher<\/a> (4-4) to lead off the eighth and Jake Burger<\/a> followed with a walk. Osuna then hit a one-out line drive to right that scored Nimmo and snapped a 2-all tie. Burger advanced to third and raced home scored on Elias Diaz<\/a>\u2019s sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n

Robby Ahlstrom (2-0) pitched a perfect seventh for the win.<\/p>\n

The Marlins got to within 4-3 on Kyle Stowers<\/a>\u2019 run-scoring double against Jacob Latz<\/a> in the eighth. Latz retired Jakob Marsee<\/a> on a groundout with the bases loaded to end the eighth then pitched the ninth for his 14th save.<\/p>\n

Duran put Texas on the board with a two-run blast against Miami starter Tyler Phillips<\/a> in the fourth before Miami narrowed it to 2-1 on Javier Sanoja<\/a>\u2019s sacrifice fly in the fifth.<\/p>\n

Xavier Edwards<\/a> hit a tying RBI triple in the sixth. He tried to stretch the triple into an inside the park home run but was thrown out at the plate by shortstop Duran\u2019s relay throw from short left field.<\/p>\n

Phillips allowed two runs and five hits over six innings. <\/p>\n

The series opener also featured the return of former Marlins manager Skip Schumaker. Now managing the Rangers, Schumaker guided the Marlins for two years before resigning following the 2024 season. In Schumaker\u2019s first season, the Marlins clinched a post season berth and were eliminated by Philadelphia in the NL Wild Card round.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

The Rangers have not announced a starter for Tuesday while RHP Sandy Alcantara<\/a> (7-4, 4.18 ERA) will start for the Marlins.<\/p>\n
