Jesus Sanchez's two-out single in the bottom of the 10th drove in Luis Arraez from second, and the host Miami Marlins beat the Colorado Rockies 5-4 on Thursday to sweep the three-game series.
Arraez started the inning on second, and Justin Lawrence (1-2) and Jalen Beeks got the first two outs before Sanchez lined a fastball to left to win it.
Josh Bell homered, Arraez had two hits and Burch Smith (1-0) picked up the victory for Miami.
Jacob Stallings homered and singled and Brendan Rodgers also had two hits for Colorado, which has trailed in all 31 games this season.
The Rockies squandered an opportunity in the ninth and failed to score in the 10th in dropping their fifth straight game.
The Marlins jumped in front in the bottom of the first inning against starter Peter Lambert. Arraez led off with a double, Bryan De La Cruz walked and Jazz Chisholm Jr. singled to drive in Arraez and put runners on first and third.
De La Cruz scored on a sacrifice fly by Sanchez to give Miami a 2-0 lead.
Colorado answered in the top of the second off Edward Cabrera. Elehuris Montero walked, Rodgers singled and Stallings hit a two-out home run to left-center to put the Rockies in front. It was Stallings' first homer of the season.
Bell tied it in the third with a solo homer, his fourth of the season, and the Marlins went in front in the fourth. Dane Myers walked, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Nick Fortes.
That was all for Lambert, who allowed four runs on five hits and three walks in 3 1/3 innings.
Colorado tied it again in the fifth. Jake Cave walked, Stallings singled and Hunter Goodman walked to load the bases with no outs. Calvin Faucher relieved Cabrera and got Ezequiel Tovar to ground into a double play, but Cave scored on the play to make it 4-4.
Cabrera allowed four runs on three hits and four walks while striking out nine in four-plus innings.
The Rockies loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the ninth after Charlie Blackmon was intentionally walked, but Tovar grounded out to end the threat.
