Ramírez homers, drives in 4 including go-ahead runs in Miami's 10-8 win over Padres
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Agustín Ramírez had the first four-hit game of his career including a home run and a go-ahead two-run single as the Miami Marlins beat the San Diego Padres 10-8 on Wednesday.
Ramírez went 4 for 5 with four RBIs and two runs scored. Eric Wagaman and Otto Lopez added three hits each with Lopez hitting a three-run homer. Javier Sanoja hit two doubles.
Ronny Henriquez (3-1) went two innings for the win and Calvin Faucher pitched the ninth for his third save. Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara lasted four innings and gave up six runs. He had lost his previous seven starts. The 2022 AL Cy Young winner missed all of last season after Tommy John surgery.
Reliever Jason Adam (5-1) took the loss after the Padres blew a five-run lead a day after they rallied from a six-run deficit.
The Marlins chased starter Kyle Hart, who was recalled Wednesday, in a five-run fifth that came after the Padres scored five runs in the fourth for a 6-1 lead.
Gavin Sheets, who drove in three, gave the Padres an 8-7 lead with a two-run homer in the seventh.
After Ramírez's two-run single in the eighth put the Marlins ahead, Wagaman followed with a double to score Victor Mesa Jr., but Ramírez was thrown out at home.
Miami's Connor Norby was hit in head with an 87 mph changeup from Adam in the eighth inning that knocked Norby to the ground for a time but he remained in the game.
Key stat
Ramírez, who made his MLB debut on April 21, is hitting .262 with seven homers and 17 RBIs.

Marlins pitcher Eury Pérez excited to be back in the big leagues despite rocky return from injury
PITTSBURGH (AP) — For a young pitcher, Eury Pérez has already experienced a lot. A prized prospect with Miami before he got injured, the 6-foot-8 Pérez returned from Tommy John surgery Monday night and made his first major league start since Sept. 20, 2023. He allowed four runs and four hits in three innings while striking out five and walking two as the Marlins lost 10-3 to the Pittsburgh Pirates. 'It was really great to see him back out there,' Miami manager Clayton McCullough said. 'I mean, you think of everything he's been through. I told him when he came out of the game that maybe it was not the outing he was thinking about, but think about what happened in getting to this point. I told him he should be very proud of the work he put in.' Pérez, still the youngest pitcher in the majors at 22 years and 55 days old, started off by tossing two scoreless innings. The Pirates, though, scored four times in the third to take a 4-1 lead as Andrew McCutchen knocked in a run with an infield single and Bryan Reynolds followed with a bases-loaded triple to right-center. 'A few things piled up in that inning,' Pérez said. 'It was very exciting to be able to get that first start in the big leagues again. In the first inning, I kept thinking about all the obstacles that I went through. It's good to be back.' The right-hander made his big league debut in 2023 and went 5-6 with a 3.15 ERA in 19 starts before sitting out last season. Baseball America ranked Perez as the seventh-best prospect in the game before the 2023 season. 'Look, it's one start, right? He's going to be better,' McCullough said. 'He's a big part of our present and our future.' Perez was activated from the 60-day injured list before the game, and left-hander Ryan Weathers was placed on the 60-day IL with a left lat strain. In five starts this season, Weathers is 1-1 with a 3.28 ERA. ___ AP MLB:
