ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – Cole Gillespie had a late tiebreaking RBI single, Marcell Ozuna drove in two runs and the Miami Marlins beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Wednesday night.
Miami took a 4-3 lead in the eighth when J.T. Realmuto singled, went to second on Chris Johnson’s sacrifice bunt and scored on Gillespie’s single off 30-year old Tyler Sturdevant (0-1), who made his major league debut Tuesday.
