Overview

  • Miami starter Ryan Weathers remained in the game after being struck in the head by a warmup throw from catcher Nick Fortes but was removed after three innings for precautionary evaluation.
  • The Marlins snapped a five-game losing streak by outlasting the Rays 11-10 in 10 innings at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
  • Outfielder Jesús Sánchez drove in five runs with a three-run homer and a two-run double, and infielder Heriberto Hernandez delivered the go-ahead RBI single in the 10th inning.
  • Christopher Morel went 3-for-3 with two home runs, including a three-run shot, but his performance could not extend the Rays’ four-game winning streak.
  • The Rays will turn to right-hander Drew Rasmussen in Sunday’s finale while the Marlins have yet to announce a starter.
