Yelich's RBI Single in 10th Lifts Marlins Past Rays

Christian Yelich drove in three runs, including a game-ending RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Miami Marlins to their first win, 10-9 over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night.

Giancarlo Stanton also had three RBIs and Michael Morse drove in two for the Marlins, who led 8-1 before the Rays scored seven runs in the seventh to tie it.

Miami, which beat Tampa Bay for the fifth consecutive time, scored just three runs in its first three games before Friday's outburst to avoid a franchise-worst 0-4 start.

Dee Gordon doubled down the right-field line with one out against Brad Boxberger (0-1) before Yelich drove a ground ball through the left side, scoring Gordon without a throw home.

Bryan Morris (1-0) pitched one inning to earn the victory.

David DeJesus had a three-run triple and Kevin Kiermaier hit his second home run for the Rays.
