MIAMI (AP) — Griffin Conine hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning,
and the Miami Marlins scored four runs in the fourth in a 9-2 win over
the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.
The Marlins, who were hitless in the first three innings, got their
first hit in the fourth when Xavier Edwards singled off starter Erick
Fedde (0-1). Agustín Ramírez doubled, then Liam Hicks sent them both
home with a hit deep down the first baseline. Hicks leads MLB with eight
RBIs this season. |

Center fielder Luisangel Acuña committed two errors moments
apart on throws to home. The first came on Owen Caissie’s single
that drove in Hicks, and then on Heriberto Hernández’s single
that sent Caissie home and gave Miami a 4-2 lead.
Fedde threw 80 pitches over five innings, earned four
strikeouts, three runs and a walk.
With Hernández on third, Graham Pauley bunted. Relief pitcher
Bryan Hudson overthrew the throw to home, giving the Marlins
their fifth run. Conine and Hicks scored on sacrifice flies in
the seventh and eighth.
Munetaka Murakami singled to drive in Edgar Quero, and Andrew
Benintendi hit a line drive to right field to bring Acuña home
and give the White Sox a 2-0 lead in the second.
Anthony Bender (1-0) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings with a
strikeout and a walk. Marlins starter Janson Junk allowed two
runs and five hits with five strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.
