Dane Myers hit a walk-off RBI single in the 10th inning as the host Miami Marlins rallied for a 7-6 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night after trailing by five runs entering the ninth.
Miami snapped a seven-game losing streak, which had been the longest active skid in the major leagues.
Myers went 2-for-2 with three RBIs. He entered the game in the eighth after Jazz Chisholm Jr. was ejected for arguing a called third strike.
Bryan De La Cruz, who tied the score at 6-6 in the 10th on an RBI double off the fence in left, scored the winning run on a close play at the plate. Colorado catcher Elias Diaz likely would have had the out, but he dropped the ball.
Rockies starter Ryan Feltner pitched a career-high eight-plus innings, but he settled for a no-decision. Feltner gave up three runs on five hits, with no walks and three strikeouts.
Feltner was removed from the game in the ninth after he allowed the inning's first three hitters to reach base, surrendering a single, hitting a batter and yielding Luis Arraez's RBI double.
The Marlins pounced on reliever Justin Lawrence, who gave up a two-run single to Myers before hitting Jesus Sanchez with a pitch to force in a run ahead of Emmanuel Rivera's sacrifice fly.
Reliever Jalen Beeks (2-2) entered the game, and he struck out Nick Gordon and got Christian Bethancourt to fly out.
Rockies left fielder Jordan Beck singled in his first major league at-bat, smacking a 1-0 slider to center as part of Colorado's five-run first.
Through the first eight innings, Miami managed singles by Josh Bell in the second, Vidal Brujan in the third and De La Cruz in the seventh.
Bell was erased by a double-play grounder, and Brujan was caught stealing. De La Cruz's base hit was a swinging bunt.
Marlins starter Sixto Sanchez threw 25 first-inning pitches -- 21 of them for strikes.
Ezequiel Tovar doubled on the game's first pitch. Ryan McMahon and Charlie Blackmon drilled two-strike RBI singles to give Colorado a 2-0 lead, and Elehuris Montero's three-run homer to center traveled 409 feet with an exit velocity of 107.6 mph.
After Miami rallied to tie the score in the ninth, Colorado took a 6-5 lead on McMahon's RBI double off Tanner Scott (1-4) in the top of the 10th inning.
