Diamondbacks 4, Marlins 2
MIAMI -- A.J. Pollock hit a tie-breaking, two-run homer in the eighth inning, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night at Marlins Park.
It was the second straight night that an outfielder came off the bench to win the game for Arizona (17-21). On Monday, the hero was David Peralta, who hit a game-winning double in the 13th inning.
Enrique Burgos pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save of the season. Reliever Daniel Hudson (1-1) earned the win, pitching two scoreless innings
Miami (16-24), playing its second game under new manager Dan Jennings, lost for the eighth time in nine games.
Both starting pitchers were left with no-decisions.
Arizona's Jerremy Hellickson allowed four hits, one walk and two runs in six innings.
Miami's Tom Koehler pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing five hits, two walks and two runs, none earned.
The loss went to Marlins reliever Mike Dunn (0-3), who gave up a leadoff single to right fielder Mark Trumbo and a one-out homer to Pollock, who hit his drive down the line in left. Both hits in the inning came on the first pitch.
It was just the second career pinch-hit homer for Pollock.
Arizona opened the scoring with two runs in the fourth. Left fielder David Peralta drew a walk and advanced to third on a double by third baseman Yasmany Tomas.
With two outs, catcher Tuffy Gosewisch beat out an RBI grounder up the middle. The play could have been ruled an infield hit, but, instead, an error was charged to second baseman Dee Gordon, who ranged far to his right before throwing off line.
Arizona made it 2-0 when shortstop Nick Ahmed's bunt single to third base drove in Tomas from third.
Miami tied the score at 2 in the sixth on a two-run homer to left by right fielder Giancarlo Stanton. Gordon led off the inning with an infield single and scored when Stanton hit his 12th homer of the season.
NOTES: Miami recalled RHP Carter Capps from Triple-A New Orleans, where he was 0-2 with a 1.80 ERA. Capps, a hard-throwing reliever, takes the roster spot of RHP Jarred Cosart (vertigo), who missed Tuesday's start and was placed on the 15-day disabled list late Monday night. ... Arizona RHP David Hernandez (Tommy John surgery) pitched a scoreless inning for Class A San Jose on Monday night. ... Arizona RHP Chase Anderson, who starts against Miami RHP David Phelps on Wednesday, has a 0.98 ERA in three starts this month. ... This was the 500th career game for Arizona 1B Paul Goldschmidt. ... Marlins 1B Michael Morse, who did not start Monday and is losing his grip on his starting job because of a batting slump, was back in the lineup on Tuesday. But Marlins manager Dan Jennings batted Morse seventh in the order instead of his customary cleanup spot. CF Marcell Ozuna was used as the cleanup hitter.
