The lead
May 16, 2026 - St. Petersburg - The Miami Marlins waited out a zeros-heavy night, pushed the tying run across in the ninth, then detonated for eight tenth-inning runs off Hunter Bigge to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 10-5 and snap an 11-game Rays home winning streak, per Yahoo Sports and the Associated Press recap mirrored on CBS Sports.
Liam Hicks plated two with a tenth-inning single that broke a 2-2 tie; Javier Sanoja drove in four runs on the night, including a three-run double in the same frame Yahoo highlighted. Jakob Marsee added three hits as Miami turned a stalemate into a rout.
How the game turned
Sandy Alcantara held Tampa Bay to one unearned run with six strikeouts and no walks across six innings, Yahoo reported—keeping Miami in the fight until Heriberto Hernández's solo homer tied things in the seventh and the ninth-inning push forced extras. The bottom of the ninth briefly swung back toward Tampa Bay before Miami's tenth-inning ambush flipped the script for good.
Pitching and matchup notes
Pete Fairbanks (1-2) earned the Marlins' win despite permitting the tying run in the ninth, per Yahoo, while Bigge (1-1) absorbed all eight tenth-inning tallies on six hits and two walks without retiring the avalanche. AthX Engine credited Alcantara with 19 pitching FP as part of Miami's 18 team FP.
Bats that changed the board
Sanoja's four-RBI night and Hicks' tie-breaking knock concentrated fantasy juice into one inning—classic AthX Engine volatility when a road club banks crooked numbers after silent frames.
AthX Engine fantasy angle
Relief meltdowns concentrate fantasy pain on one arm while rewarding every Marlins bat that saw the tenth. It is the inverse of Friday's opener win for Tampa Bay, underscoring how slate-to-slate AthX Engine outputs diverge even in the same ballpark. Dynamic pricing remains a separate marketplace concept.
What comes next
The Rays had to swallow a rare home blemish after controlling Friday's series opener; Miami carried proof that one extra frame can undo a night's worth of zeros.
