Anthony Seigler hits go-ahead triple in 9th and Red Sox beat Marlins 4-2

MIAMI (AP) — Anthony Seigler hit a go-ahead triple in the ninth inning, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Monday night.

Mickey Gasper had two hits and walked twice for the Red Sox, who won their fourth straight. Boston has won 19 of 20 against teams with records of .500 or better.

Miami closer Pete Fairbanks (4-5) started the ninth but left with an injury after issuing a leadoff walk to Gasper. Fairbanks stepped off the mound and touched his throwing arm as he talked with catcher Brian Navarreto and manager Clayton McCullough.

Tyler Zuber relieved Fairbanks and allowed Seigler’s line drive toward the right field foul area that scored pinch-runner Eli White from first and snapped a 2-all tie. Nick Sogard followed with an RBI single.

Erik Miller (3-0) pitched a scoreless eighth around two singles and a walk. Aroldis Chapman closed it out for his 30th save.

The Marlins were 2 for 18 with runners in scoring position.

Miami's Kyle Stowers went 1 for 4 in his return from the injured list.

Xavier Edwards’ bases-loaded RBI single in the seventh put the Marlins ahead 2-1.

The Red Sox tied it in the eighth when Wilyer Abreu scored from third on a wild pitch by reliever Josh Ekness. Abreu hit a leadoff double and advanced on a fly out before Ekness threw a curveball to the backstop.

Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara allowed one run and six hits over seven innings for his major league-leading 21st quality start. He walked two and struck out six.

Over his last three starts, Alcantara has given up five runs in 20 innings but has received only three runs of support.

LHP Peyton Tolle (8-6, 3.08 ERA) will start for the Red Sox on Tuesday. The Marlins had not announced a starter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — CJ Abrams had the go-ahead RBI in a five-run fifth inning, Cade Cavalli won his fourth consecutive start and the Washington Nationals defeated Colorado 13-3 on Monday night to send the Rockies to their season-worst seventh consecutive loss.

Daylen Lile homered and drove in five runs for the Nationals, who had dropped three games in a row and seven of eight.

Willi Castro and Ezequiel Tovar homered for Colorado.

After going hitless for the first four innings against Rockies starter Ryan Feltner (5-8), the Nationals opened the fifth with two singles. Nasim Nuñez then laid down a sacrifice bunt toward third that Castro threw down the right-field line for an error, allowing two runs to score.

Abrams laced a double to right to drive in Nuñez and give the Nationals a 3-2 lead. Abrams stole third and scored on Abimelec Ortiz’s grounder. Lile and Brady House hit consecutive doubles to add another run.

Abrams, who missed the previous four games with a sprained ankle, went 1 for 4 with two stolen bases as Washington’s designated hitter.

The Nationals added three runs in the sixth and two in the seventh. Lile hit a three-run homer in the eighth.

Cavalli (12-5) struck out seven and allowed two runs in six innings. He is 7-1 with a 1.98 ERA in eight outings since the All-Star break and has started Washington’s last three victories.

Castro ripped the first pitch of the fourth off the foul pole in right. He’s hit eight of his 15 home runs since the All-Star break. Tovar led off the fifth with a shot to center, his 10th of the season.

Tovar was removed in the sixth with a strained left wrist. The shortstop got hurt while trying to catch Jacob Young’s single an inning earlier.

Feltner allowed seven runs — five earned — and struck out six in 5 2/3 innings.

Washington LHP Andrew Alvarez (2-5, 3.60 ERA) pitches Tuesday. Colorado had not announced a replacement for originally scheduled starter Kyle Freeland, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday.
