Overview

  • Kyle Hart was recalled to replace injured right-hander Michael King and surrendered five runs on six hits over 4 2/3 innings, raising his ERA to 6.66.
  • Gavin Sheets’s 11th homer of the season in the seventh gave San Diego an 8-7 lead, its first advantage since the opener.
  • Miami’s offense erupted for five runs in the fifth inning to tie the game before breaking ahead on a wild pitch in the eighth.
  • A Manny Machado fielding error combined with relievers David Morgan and Wandy Peralta allowing inherited runners to score set up the Marlins’ decisive three-run rally.
  • The 10-8 defeat snapped San Diego’s three-game winning streak and ended its bid for a series sweep at Petco Park.
