DENVER (AP) — Martin Prado hit a go-ahead, two-run single during a four-run rally in the ninth inning that sent Miami over Colorado in a matchup of NL wild-card contenders.
After a throwing error by second baseman Dee Gordon helped the Rockies score three times in the eighth, the Marlins bounced back. Miami ended a three-game skid and stayed even with St. Louis for the second wild-card spot, with Colorado falling four games behind.
Marlins pinch-hitter Ichiro Suzuki struck out on three pitches and remains two hits away from 3,000. He is in an 0-for-11 slump.
The first three Marlins reached base in the ninth as Adeiny Hechavarria's RBI single cut the lead to 3-2 off closer Carlos Estevez (2-6). Prado singled with the bases loaded and Christian Yelich added a sacrifice fly. Brian Ellington (2-1) finished the eighth, and A.J. Ramos got his 32nd save.
