MIAMI (AP) \u2014 Jarren Duran hit a grand slam in the 11th inning, Mickey Gasper had his first career two-homer game and the Boston Red Sox beat the Miami Marlins 7-3 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The surging Red Sox won their fifth in a row and ninth in 12 games. They have won their past three series and 14 of their last 20.<\/p>\n
Willson Contreras led off the 11th with a single that advanced automatic runner Wilyer Abreu from second base to third. Jahmai Jones drew a walk to load the bases, and Abreu was forced out at home on Andruw Monasterio’s grounder.<\/p>\n
Duran then connected on a sweeper from Cade Gibson (2-1) to put the Red Sox ahead 7-3. Alec Gamboa (1-0) tossed 1 1\/3 hitless innings for his first major league win.<\/p>\n
Gasper sent his first homer to right-center to put Boston up 1-0 in the second. It was the only run the Red Sox managed against starter Tyler Phillips, who struck out seven in 4 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Payton Tolle carried a no-hitter into the fifth for Boston, but allowed a leadoff double to Xavier Edwards. Tolle eventually loaded the bases, and the Marlins tied it on Brian Navarreto’s sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n
Gasper’s second homer of the night traveled 418 feet to center field, giving the Red Sox a 2-1 advantage in the sixth, but Heriberto Hern\u00e1ndez answered with a solo shot of his own in the bottom half.<\/p>\n
Connor Wong scored on a passed ball in the top of the 10th, and Navarreto scored on a third-strike wild pitch to tie the game again.<\/p>\n
Red Sox RHP Sonny Gray (16-3, 2.79 ERA) faces Marlins RHP Ryan Gusto (0-3, 4.37) in the series finale Wednesday.<\/p>\n
