He trailed 2-0 before a rare five-run outburst by the Marlins in the fifth inning wiped out a 2-0 deficit and put Conley in position for the win.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Fernandez winds up during the first inning of a baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds, Thursday, July 9, 2015, , in Miami.
“We’re going to have to figure out Mr. Leake so we’ll be able to get him next time”, Gordon said.
“I’m ecstatic”, Frazier said. “We needed that, man”. Miami had gone 16 innings without a run but scored just in time to make a victor of rookie left-hander Adam Conley (1-0), who made his second major-league appearance and his first start.
McGehee, signed earlier in the day, hit a two-out pinch-hit double in the eighth inning. The total was a season high for the Marlins, who scored just 12 runs in their previous seven games.
Through 83 games, Gordon is hitting. It was the most in an inning allowed by Cincinnati since 1961.
Marlins manager Dan Jennings was a friend of ex- Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler, who died Wednesday. “I think I hit my thumb”.
Realmuto added a run for good measure in the 8th, driving in Cole Gillespie with a double to deep right center and bringing our happy totals to 14-3, Marlins.
METS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 2: In New York, Matt Harvey pitching seven strong innings and hit his first career home run to lead New York.
Fernandez faced his biggest jam when he allowed singles by Marlon Byrd and Eugenio Suarez on consecutive pitches in the seventh.
RAYS 3, ASTROS 1: In St. Petersburg, Florida, Erasmo Ramirez pitched six innings of four-hit ball, and Brandon Guyer homered as Tampa Bay snapped a four-game losing streak.
Gordon bounced one sharply to first baseman Joey Votto to open the seventh, then slid into first base to avoid a tag and beat pitcher Manny Parra to the bag. That. 333 average is third-best in the National League; the 33 steals trail only Billy Hamilton’s 42 in the Senior Circuit.
Samardzija (6-4) took a no-hitter into the sixth inning for a second straight game. Price said he remains confident RHP Anthony DeSclafani will miss only one start.
With scheduled starter Mat Latos (foot) scratched from Saturday’s start against the team that traded him away for DeSclafani and Chad Wallach in December, Conley will draw his first big-league start.
