  "account": "Jakob Marsee and Joe Mack each hit a homer as the Miami Marlins defeated the Cincinnati Reds 8-4 in a game on Saturday night. The Marlins scored four runs in the eighth inning to secure the win. The victory improved the Marlins' record to 53-13 when they scored four or more runs, as they had only scored three or fewer runs in 10 of their previous 16 games. Graham Pauley's sacrifice fly tied the game at 4-4 in the eighth inning. Heriberto Hernandez drove in two runs with a single with the bases loaded, giving the Marlins an 6-4 lead. Griffin Conine added an RBI single, making it 7-4. Pauley finished the game with an RBI double in the ninth inning. Four Marlins relievers combined to pitch 4 1/3 scoreless innings. Tyler Zuber won the game for the Marlins, while TJ Antone lost the game for Cincinnati. Marsee's first homer of the season came on Brady Singer's first pitch of the third inning, putting the Marlins ahead 1-0. The homer was McKain's 12th of the season and Singer's 24th homer allowed, a career high. Singer gave up three earned runs on eight hits in six innings. The Reds staged a rally in the third inning, spurred by a dropped fly ball by Marlins right fielder Esteury Ruiz, which put the Reds ahead 2-1. Sal Stewart's two-run single extended the Reds' lead to three runs. Mack also homered on Singer's first pitch of the fourth inning, tying the game at 2-2. In the fifth inning, the Reds rebounded with two back-to-back homers off Ryan Gusto, putting Cincinnati ahead 4-3. Ke'Bryan Hayes hit his fifth homer of the season, while McLain hit his 11th. Gusto allowed four runs, two of which were earned, on six hits in 4 2/3 innings, with no walks and six strikeouts. The two homers from Gusto tied a season-high for him. The Marlins' starting pitcher for the game was right-handed Eury Perez, who will face Reds left-handed pitcher Nick Lodolo in the series finale on Sunday.",
