Sandy Alcantara struck out eight over six three-hit innings, and the Marlins scored seven times on the American League leading Tampa Bay Rays.
The Marlins entered their Saturday night intra-state matchup against the Rays (27-12) needing a victory to get back to .500 on the season. They had their work cut out for them against Tampa Bay, who had defeated the Marlins in all four prior 2020 matchups.
Harold Ramirez, who started the season one-for-seven before getting sidelined with the coronavirus, made his return to the starting lineup.
