Marlins strike in fifth inning to beat Mariners, win seventh consecutive game

MIAMI — It took until the fifth inning, but the Miami Marlins’ offense was finally able to break through against the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner on Saturday to keep their win streak alive.

Miami sent nine batters to the plate and scored three runs against Robbie Ray in that fifth inning to spark the Marlins to a 3-1 win over the Seattle Mariners at loanDepot park. The Marlins have now won seven consecutive games and, at 12-8 overall, posted a winning record in April for the first time since 2016. Seattle dropped to 11-10.

Brian Anderson started the rally with a leadoff ground-rule double that bounced into Miami’s bullpen in left field. He moved to third on a Miguel Rojas flyout and scored on a Bryan De La Cruz ground-ball single past shortstop J.P. Crawford and into right field to tie the game at 1-1.
