Heriberto Hernandez hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth to lift the visiting Miami Marlins to an 8-4 comeback victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Jakob Marsee was 4 for 4 with a solo home run, while Joe Mack was 3 for 5 with a solo shot as Miami snapped a four-game road skid.<\/p>\n

Miami\u2019s Tyler Zuber (2-1) allowed two hits and struck out one in a scoreless inning of relief.<\/p>\n

For the Reds, Matt McLain was 3 for 4 with a double and a homer, Ke\u2019Bryan Hayes also homered and Sal Stewart had two hits, including a two-run single.<\/p>\n

Trailing 4-3 entering the eighth, Miami sent nine batters to the plate and took a 7-4 lead on three hits, two hit-by-pitches and a walk. Owen Caissie was hit by a pitch and motored to third on Mack\u2019s single. Graham Pauley evened the score at 4 with a sacrifice fly that plated Caissie. Esteury Ruiz was then hit in the shoulder as Tejay Antone (2-1) gave way to Sam Moll.<\/p>\n

Moll walked pinch hitter Agustin Ramirez to load the bases. After shortstop Elly De La Cruz fielded Edwards\u2019 chopper and cut down Mack at the plate, Hernandez lined a two-run single into right for a 6-4 lead. Griffin Conine followed with a single to right that scored Edwards.<\/p>\n

Marsee\u2019s solo shot in the third got the Marlins on the board first.<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the inning, Stewart\u2019s opposite-field single knocked in Hayes and McLain to give Cincinnati a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

With one out in the fourth, Mack\u2019s homer tied the game at 2.<\/p>\n

Miami went up 3-2 in the fifth when Hernandez roped an RBI single past a drawn-in infield.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati answered with back-to-back homers from Hayes and McLain in its half of the frame for a 4-3 advantage.<\/p>\n

Pauley added an insurance run with an RBI double in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Miami starter Ryan Gusto allowed four runs (two earned) on six hits with no walks and six strikeouts in 4 2\/3 innings. Reds starter Brady Singer scattered eight hits, allowing three runs with two walks and four strikeouts over six innings.<\/p>\n
