Ray scattered four hits and allowed one earned run while striking out four, walking one and lowering his ERA to 3.38. The left-hander, who had lost his previous two starts, worked out of a jam in the third inning to keep the game scoreless before the Marlins broke through in the top of the third.

Schmitt finished 2-for-3 with a double and the homer. Ramos went 2-for-4 with a homer and an RBI. Arraez added two hits and an RBI. Gilbert homered and walked twice.
