ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Troy Johnston and Connor Norby hit back-to-back solo home runs with two outs in the sixth inning and the Miami Marlins beat the slumping Texas Rangers 4-3 on Saturday night.
Johnston also had an RBI single for the Marlins (75-80), who have won five consecutive games and 10 of their last 13.
Rookie Cade Gibson (4-5) pitched two innings to earn the win. Calvin Faucher’s 15th save came despite allowing a leadoff homer to Kyle Higashioka in the ninth. Faucher left runners on second and third.
The Rangers (79-76) have dropped six straight, matching their longest losing streak of the season.
Johnston pulled a first-pitch curve by rookie Jack Leiter (9-10) just over the right-field fence to snap a 2-all tie. Norby then pulled a 1-0 slider just over the left-field wall.
