Rivera’s hit saves Marlins
Missed bunt sign gives way to victory
Emmanuel Rivera hit a game-winning pinch-hit single in the 10th inning and the host Miami Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6 Sunday.
Rivera’s hard grounder deflected off the glove of Phillies reliever Gregory Soto (0-1) and into right field, scoring automatic runner Nick Fortes from second.
Rivera missed a sign to bunt and advance base runners Fortes and Josh Bell and whiffed on Soto’s 1-0 pitch. He then had a second strike called before his first career walk-off RBI.
