SAN FRANCISCO _ The Marlins always had a rally in them when they took on the San Francisco Giants in Miami last week.
Four times they played.
Four times they came from behind to either tie the score or take the lead.
Three times they won.
They didn't stop there. After trailing 4-0 on Monday, the Marlins rallied for a come-from-behind victory, scoring three runs in the ninth to hand the Giants a 5-4 loss at AT&T Park.
Lewis Brinson tied it with his one-out single off Hunter Strickland in the ninth and Miguel Rojas put the Marlins on top with his flare single to right.
The Marlins have now won four of their five meetings against the Giants, all in comeback fashion.
The latest come-from-behind win spoiled Andrew Suarez's bid to notch his third major league win. The rookie lefty out of the University of Miami was in line for the win when he left in the seventh with a 4-2 lead. But the Marlins left him with a no-decision by coming up with the tying and go-ahead runs in the ninth.
Until the Giants came along last week, the Marlins had not won a game all season in which they trailed by as many as two runs. They've now done it three times in one week against San Francisco.
While Suarez was dealing, the same couldn't be said for Marlins rookie starter Caleb Smith, who labored through four ineffective innings before coming out. The Giants produced three runs in the second after Brinson misplayed a wind-blown but routine fly ball into a double and Pablo Sandoval capped it off with a two-run homer later in the inning.
The Marlins cut the Giants lead in half, 4-2, in the fifth on Miguel Rojas' two-run single. But Rojas helped quell what might have been a bigger inning when he was thrown out at second trying to stretch his hit.
But the Marlins woke up in the ninth. Brian Anderson drew a leadoff walk from Strickland and J.T. Realmuto followed with a RBI double to make it 4-3. Two batters later, Brinson drove in the tying run, which was followed immediately by Rojas' go-ahead single.
Kyle Barraclough worked the ninth for the save.
