Bour homers in 9th to help Marlins beat Giants 6-5

MIAMI (AP) Justin Bour hit a three-run homer with no outs in the ninth inning, and the Miami Marlins overcame three errors and a flurry of double-play grounders to rally past the San Francisco Giants 6-5 on Wednesday night.

The Marlins squandered a 3-1 lead and tied a franchise record by hitting into five double plays. But they came back in the ninth against Santiago Casilla (4-2), who blew a save for the fourth time in 24 chances.

The Marlins trailed 5-3 to start the ninth when Christian Yelich led off with a single. Adeiny Hechavarria singled, and Bour pulled a 1-0 pitch over the fence in right field for his eighth homer and first career walk-off homer.

Steve Cishek (2-5) pitched a scoreless ninth for Miami, which won despite being out-hit 14-8.
