Nothing was settled until the 10th. The Miami Marlins built a four-run lead, watched Seattle claw all the way back to tie it in the eighth, then won it in extra innings when Jakob Marsee singled to right to score Xavier Edwards, giving Miami a 6-5 victory at loanDepot park on Tuesday night.

The game turned on a chaotic eighth inning. Seattle scored three runs to erase a 4-2 deficit, with the tying run coming home on an error and the go-ahead run scoring on a wild pitch by Marlins reliever Calvin Faucher. Miami answered immediately: Heriberto Hernandez homered to left — 422 feet — to knot the game at 5-5 and force extras. Hernandez finished 1-for-2 with a home run and an RBI, his 12th of the season. Owen Caissie had set the tone earlier, launching a 418-foot homer to right-center in the second inning to give Miami the lead it would hold for most of the night. Caissie went 1-for-2 with a walk, one home run, and one RBI, now carrying 12 home runs and 50 RBI on the season.
Marsee's walk-off was his second RBI of the game — he had also singled home Griffin Conine in the third. In the 10th, Edwards scored from second to end it. Marsee finished 2-for-4 on the night. Kyle Stowers added a sacrifice fly in the fourth to push the lead to 4-0, and Liam Hicks went 3-for-5 to anchor the Miami lineup.
Bryan Woo started for Seattle and allowed 4 runs (3 earned) on 9 hits over 5 innings, striking out 5. He did not factor in the decision.

The Marlins' bullpen covered the final 5 innings, allowing 3 runs, before Cade Gibson worked a scoreless inning in the 10th to earn the win, improving to 2-0. Michael Rucker took the loss for Seattle, falling to 0-2.
Miami improved to 50-42 on the strength of its fourth consecutive win.
