ST. PETERSBURG -- Cole Gillespie's RBI single in the eighth drove home the go-ahead run to lead the Marlins to a 4-3 win over the Rays on Wednesday night at Tropicana Field.
J.T. Realmuto singled off Tyler Sturdevant to lead off the Marlins' eighth and moved to second on Chris Johnson's sacrifice bunt. Gillespie, who made his first start of the season with fellow outfielders Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich out, then laced a single to right that scored Realmuto.
The Marlins built a 3-1 lead thanks to a three-run third against Rays starter Matt Andriese, who surrendered an RBI double to Justin Bour and a two-run single to Marcell Ozuna.
