L\u00f3pez also had a single.<\/p>\n<p>The Marlins improved to a major league-best 16-5 in June. Miami is 42-39 at the halfway point and has won five consecutive home series.<\/p>\n<p>Edwards snapped a 1-1 tie with his RBI against Jacob deGrom (6-5). Owen Caissie hit a leadoff single and Leo Jimenez followed with a walk. Both advanced on a sacrifice bunt. Edwards then hit a grounder to right that scored Caissie.<\/p>\n<p>John King (5-1) pitched an inning of relief for the win. Anthony Bender and Michael Petersen combined for seven outs before Pete Fairbanks closed around Joc Pederson&#8217;s leadoff homer in the ninth for his 12th save.<\/p>\n<p>DeGrom struck out eight over six innings of two-run-ball. The right-hander allowed four hits and walked two. He ended his outing by striking out the side.<\/p>\n<p>Wyatt Langford put Texas ahead 1-0 with a solo homer in the fourth. He drove the first pitch from Miami starter Eury P\u00e9rez over the wall in center for his seventh homer.<\/p>\n<p>The Marlins tied it in the bottom half on Griffin Conine&#8217;s RBI double.<\/p>\n<p>P\u00e9rez, who allowed three hits, was on a limited pitch count in his first appearance since coming off the injured list and his outing ended after 4 2\/3 innings and 68 pitches.
