Ichiro's first home run since July 25 - his second in his last 487 at-bats - capped the scoring as Miami took two out of three from the NL East leaders.Sam Dyson (1-0) worked two perfect innings of relief after starter Mat Latos left in the fifth with a left hamstring strain.

Adeiny Hechavarria led off the seventh with a double for Miami, eventually scoring on Gordon's fly to center.Latos led off the fifth with a single, and that's where his night ended. After a quick conversation at first base manager Mike Redmond decided to make a change and Latos limped off the field, then banged his helmet on a dugout wall in frustration.At least the Marlins made his hit count.Donovan Solano pinch-ran for Latos, moved to second on Gordon's second hit, took third on a double-play ball and scored when Stanton was credited with an infield single that tied the game at 3-all.Cuddyer and Stanton each hit two-run homers in the first.
