Alfaro helps Marlins rally in 9th, 10th to beat Giants 7-6

<p>MIAMI &mdash; Jorge Alfaro hit a game-ending, two-run double, and the Miami Marlins rallied from two-run deficits in the ninth and 10th innings to beat the San Francisco Giants 7-6 Saturday night.</p>
<p>San Francisco led 5-3 before RBI singles in the ninth by Alfaro and Starling Marte off Jake McGee. The closer threw 35 pitches in the inning, retiring Adam Duvall on an inning-ending flyout that stranded the bases loaded.</p>
<p>Brandon Belt’s run-scoring double against Yimi García (2-1) put the Giants ahead 6-5 in the 10th.</p>
<p>Jazz Chisholm walked against Jarlin García (0-1) with one out in the bottom half, joining the the pandemic-rules automatic runner to give Miami two on. Chad Wallach flied out, and Alfaro lined a double that bounced to the left-field wall.</p>
<p>Miami starter Sandy Alcantara allowed four runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts.</p>
<p>Giants starter Aaron Sanchez gave up one run, five hits, three walks and a hit batter in 4 2/3 innings.</p>
<p>San Francisco catcher Buster Posey was hit on the left arm by Alcantara’s final pitch. Posey went to first base and scored on a three-run homer by pinch-hitter Austin Slater off Richard Bleier, which capped a five-run inning that put the Giants ahead 5-3. Posey left the game before the bottom half.</p>
<p>Belt homered leading off the seventh, and Brandon Crawford had an RBI single. Belt has reached safely in 28 straight games against Miami.</p>
<p>Duvall tripled in a run in the first, and Jesús Aguilar made it 3-0 with a two-run double off Matt Wisler in the sixth.</p>
