The Miami Marlins scored seven times during the final two innings to take the rubber match of a three-game series against the host Cincinnati Reds 7-1 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Reds starter Nick Lodolo held Miami scoreless on three hits and two walks and struck out a pair in five innings.<\/p>\n

Starter Eury Perez went six innings for the Marlins, limiting Cincinnati to two hits while walking five and striking out five in six innings. Josh Ekness (1-1) got the Reds out in order in the seventh to earn the win, Miami\u2019s sixth in its last eight games.<\/p>\n

Leading 2-1 after eight, the Marlins broke the game open in the ninth. After Otto Lopez drew a two-out walk and Heriberto Hernandez was struck by a fastball on his right hand, Agustin Ramirez doubled to push Miami\u2019s lead to 4-1.<\/p>\n

Xavier Edwards followed with another walk, then Javier Sanoja homered to left to extend it to 7-1.<\/p>\n

Hernandez gave Miami a 1-0 lead in the top of the eighth against Tejay Antone (2-2), lifting a sweeper over the left field wall.<\/p>\n

Antone then walked in a run with the bases loaded. Ramirez reached on a throwing error from Elly De La Cruz, Edwards singled and Sanoja walked before Griffin Conine drew a pinch-hit walk to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n

Tyler Stephenson cut it to 2-1 with a homer in the bottom half of the frame, belting a first-pitch fastball to center field.<\/p>\n

Both offenses struggled to generate much through six innings. Miami had three hits, all singles, through the first two innings and didn\u2019t get a fourth hit until the seventh.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati didn\u2019t get its first hit until the third when Jose Trevino lined a single to left field. He picked up the Reds\u2019 second hit two innings later, again a single.<\/p>\n

The hosts came closest to threatening in the fourth and fifth. With two outs in the fourth, Perez walked JJ Bleday and Eugenio Suarez in consecutive at-bats but Michael Toglia struck out to strand the runners.<\/p>\n

Then in the fifth, after Trevino\u2019s base hit with one out, Ke\u2019Bryan Hayes drew a two-out walk but Perez got Elly De La Cruz to ground into a forceout.<\/p>\n
