For the third night in a row, the Miami Marlins topped the San Francisco Giants at Marlins Park.

Game Story
Scoring
In the top of the first, starter Caleb Smith made quick work of Joe Panik before allowing a Buster Posey double. Andrew McCutchen followed with his seventh homer of the season to give the Giants an early 2-0 lead.
The Giants’ lead would hold until the fourth inning. Brian Anderson drew a walk and J.T. Realmuto singled to left. After a mound visit, Cameron Maybin smacked an RBI-single to cut the lead in half.

Lewis Brinson tied it after a Justin Bour strikeout, but Maybin was thrown out at the plate.

Pitching
Smith racked up another quality start, his fifth of the season. He held the Giants to three runs, all earned, on eight hits and zero walks. He whiffed four, got 69-of-107 pitches in the strike zone, and posted a 51 GameScore. That ranks as his eighth best game out of 14 starts so far this season.
Counterpart Andrew Suarez allowed two runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out three Miami Marlins, placed 44-of-77 pitches over the plate, and bested Smith with a 53 GameScore.
Tayron Guerrero came in for 1 1/3 innings of relief, but allowed a run on two hits and two walks. He didn’t strike anyone out. Drew Rucinski came in for one pitch, nailing down the final out of the eighth with two men on base by getting Panik to fly out. Drew Steckenrider, who pitched the top of the ninth with the score tied at four, did allow a hit and a walk, but earned the victory.
