Wallach’s RBI double fuels Marlins to 5-4 win in extras
Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports Paced by five solid innings from lefty Caleb Smith, Harold Ramírez’s first home run as a major league player and Chad Wallach’s key RBI double in the 11th, the Marlins made it four straight wins, knocking off the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night at Comerica Park, 5-4. That makes it four consecutive wins for the first time this season; their recent seven-game losing skid is all but history now.
Spencer Turnbull took the mound for the home team and quickly found himself at a deficit. The Marlins manufactured a first-inning run on a Brian Anderson sacrifice fly. Wallach made it 2-0 the following inning with a booming double to right-center field.
