The victory was the fifth straight and the ninth in 10 games for the surging Marlins (75-80), who have assured themselves of winning their third consecutive series. Miami got the scoring started in the top of the second inning off Leiter. After a walk to Pederson, Alejandro Osuna singled to drive home Duran and push Pederson to third. Pederson then trotted to the plate on a single by Rowdy Tellez that gave the Rangers a 2-1 advantage. That set the stage for Johnston and Norby's homers, and the Marlins ended up needing them both to get the win.
