MIAMI GARDENS (Interstat) — Owen Caissie homered, doubled and drove in three runs, and the Miami Marlins rallied for two runs in the seventh inning to defeat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Friday night at loanDepot Park.

Caissie went 3 for 3 and provided the decisive blow with a sacrifice fly in the seventh that put Miami ahead to stay. The Marlins improved to 38-38, while the Giants fell to 31-44.

The game began with Miami striking first. After a quiet top of the first, Liam Hicks grounded out to start the bottom half. Caissie then launched his eighth home run of the season to center field, giving the Marlins a 1-0 lead. Heriberto Hernandez flied out and Kyle Stowers grounded out to end the inning.

San Francisco answered in the second. Willy Adames led off with a single, Casey Schmitt followed with a single, and Drew Gilbert beat out a bunt single to load the bases. Daniel Susac then lifted a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Adames to tie the game at 1-1. Luis Arraez grounded into a double play to end the threat.

Giants starter Landen Roupp kept Miami in check for much of the night. After allowing the first-inning homer, he retired eight of the next nine batters before Caissie singled in the third. Hernandez doubled to put runners at second and third, but Roupp struck out Stowers to escape.

Roupp worked around a single and a stolen base in the fourth, and the game remained tied into the fifth. In the top of the fifth, the Giants went down in order. In the bottom half, Javier Sanoja led off with a double. Hicks grounded out, advancing Sanoja to third. Caissie then laced an RBI double to right, scoring Sanoja and putting Miami ahead 2-1. Roupp struck out Hernandez and Stowers to strand Caissie at second.

San Francisco reclaimed the lead in the sixth. Rafael Devers led off with his 11th home run of the season, a solo shot to right-center, tying the game at 2-2. Jung Hoo Lee followed with a double. After Willy Adames struck out, Schmitt singled to center, scoring Lee to give the Giants a 3-2 lead. Gilbert grounded into a force out and Susac singled, but Arraez grounded out to end the inning with the Giants ahead.

Roupp worked a scoreless sixth, finishing his outing with six innings, seven hits, two earned runs and seven strikeouts. He threw 97 pitches.

The decisive frame came in the bottom of the seventh. San Francisco reliever Sam Hentges took over and immediately hit pinch hitter Esteury Ruiz with a pitch. Sanoja bunted for a single, putting runners at first and second. Hicks then singled to right, scoring Ruiz to tie the game at 3-3. Sanoja advanced to third on the hit. Caissie followed with a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Sanoja and giving Miami a 4-3 lead.

Ryan Walker relieved Hentges and intentionally walked Stowers, then Otto Lopez lined out to end the inning. Hentges took the loss, falling to 1-2 on the season.

Miami’s bullpen took over from there. Anthony Bender had already pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings bridging the fourth and fifth. John King worked 1 1/3 innings, allowing two hits but no runs. Calvin Faucher got two outs in the seventh. Cade Gibson, who earned the win after pitching 1 2/3 scoreless innings, struck out one and did not allow a hit. Pete Fairbanks pitched a perfect ninth for his 10th save of the season.

San Francisco threatened in the eighth but went down in order against King and Gibson. In the ninth, Fairbanks retired Drew Gilbert on a popout, Daniel Susac on a groundout and Luis Arraez on a flyout to seal the victory.

Devers finished 2 for 3 with a home run and an RBI for the Giants. Lee doubled and scored. Schmitt had two hits and drove in a run. Roupp’s strong outing was wasted as the bullpen could not hold the lead.

The two-game series continues Saturday, with the Giants traveling to Miami again. San Francisco then returns home for a three-game set against the Athletics, followed by a six-game homestand against Atlanta and a road trip to Arizona. Miami hosts the Giants again Saturday, then welcomes the Texas Rangers for a three-game series before heading to St. Louis and Colorado.
