Esteury Ruiz delivers a three-run double in the 11th inning to lift the Miami Marlins to a 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. With two outs in the extra frame, Ruiz hits a sinker from reliever Taylor Clarke into the left-center gap, scoring Otto Lopez, Jared Serna, and Kyle Stowers.
The result has playoff implications for Arizona. After other outcomes in the National League wild-card race, the Diamondbacks have an opportunity to gain ground but instead remain 2 1/2 games behind the final playoff spot with 10 games remaining. The win also underscores Miami’s late-inning push, as the decisive rally comes after the game is tied late.
Both reports describe the same key scoring play and the same effect on Arizona’s postseason chances, with no material differences in the game narrative beyond outlet wording.
