Marlins 11, Rays 6: Marcell Ozuna homered and knocked in four runs while J.T. Realmuto added three RBIs in his major league debut as visiting Miami completed a four-game sweep of Tampa Bay in the home-and-home series.
Casey McGehee was 4-for-5 with four runs scored, Ozuna and Garrett Jones each had three hits and Giancarlo Stanton belted his 17th homer for the Marlins, who have won 12 straight interleague games. Jacob Turner (2-3) allowed five runs and eight hits over 5 1/3 innings, earning his first victory in 19 career road games.
Kevin Kiermaier was 3-for-3 with a home run for the Rays, who extended their losing streak to 10 games – tying Boston for the longest in the majors this season. Jake Odorizzi (2-6) yielded four runs on seven hits over five-plus innings with eight strikeouts to lose his third consecutive decision.
The Marlins put together five straight hits with two outs in the fourth inning, including an RBI single by Ozuna and Realmuto’s two-run base hit for a 3-1 lead. Ben Zobrist and Kiermaier hit solo homers in the fifth to tie it, but Ozuna and Realmuto answered with RBI singles in a three-run sixth for Miami.
Matt Joyce’s RBI triple helped the Rays pull within 6-5 in their half of the sixth before Stanton lined a two-run shot into the left-field seats as the Marlins scored three in the seventh. Ozuna put the game away with a two-run blast to right field in the ninth as Miami finished 8-for-14 with runners in scoring position.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Miami 1B-DH Justin Bour also made his major league debut, going 2-for-5 with an RBI. … The Rays held a moment of silence before the game in honor of the team’s senior baseball advisor Don Zimmer, who passed away at age 83 on Wednesday. … Marlins manager Mike Redmond was ejected in the seventh for arguing a fair ball call before his team took the lead in the all-time series (47-46) with Tampa Bay and swept the Rays in the season series (4-0) for the first time since 2003 (3-0).
