Johnston also had an RBI single for the Marlins (75-80), who have won five consecutive games and 10 of their last 13. Rookie Cade Gibson (4-5) pitched two innings to earn the win. Calvin Faucher's 15th save came despite allowing a leadoff homer to Kyle Higashioka in the ninth."

Johnston pulled a first-pitch curve by rookie Jack Leiter (9-10) just over the right-field fence to snap a 2-all tie. Norby then pulled a 1-0 slider just over the left-field wall. Marlins rookie starter Adam Mazur gave up the two runs in four innings."
