Kyle Tucker hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning, and the Houston Astros rallied past the Miami Marlins 6-5.
The Marlins’ three-game winning streak ended. They remained one game ahead of the Chicago Cubs for the final NL wild card.
“We’ve been trying to get it clicking all year long,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “It’s going to click. It’s just a matter of when. Sometimes, you’ve got to wait on it.” Dubon was in for second baseman Jose Altuve, who exited with a left knee contusion after fouling the first pitch he saw off his left shin. X-rays were negative, and he is day to day. Altuve finished the at-bat with an infield single — the 1,997th hit of his career.McCormick hit a one-out solo shot to right-center in the sixth that made it 5-5 and chased Marlins starter Johnny Cueto.
Jorge Soler hit a two-run homer off Javier in the third, his 30th of the season, to give Miami a 3-0 lead. Soler became the first Miami player with 30 or more homers since Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna in 2017.In the fifth, center fielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. and left fielder Bryan De La Cruz collided while trying to catch a fly ball from Tucker. Chisholm was charged with an error and Mauricio Dubón scored to make it 4-4.
