BOSTON — The Miami Marlins scored five consecutive runs following a nearly 75-minute rain delay to break open a tie game and then held on to beat the Boston Red Sox 6-2 on Wednesday at Fenway Park.
The Marlins improve to 47-34, going 13 games over .500 for the first time this season. It’s the second-best record in franchise history at the halfway point of the season, behind only the 48-33 record by the 1997 World Series-winning team. The Red Sox fall to 40-41.
Miami clinched the three-game series after winning the opener 10-1 on Tuesday. The series finale is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. Thursday.
