DENVER (AP) -- Adeiny Hechavarria hit a two-out homer in the 10th inning, lifting the Miami Marlins to a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.
Hechavarria drove a slider from reliever Boone Logan (0-2) into the trees in straightaway center field. It was Hechavarria's first homer since April 25.
Marcell Ozuna had a two-out, two-run single in the first inning to help the Marlins take two of three in the series.
Carlos Gonzalez tied the game at 2 in the seventh with a solo homer. The Rockies had a chance in the ninth with two outs and runners on first and second, but Sam Dyson (3-2) got pinch-hitter Ben Paulsen to ground out.
 
Hechavarria homers in 10th, Marlins beat Rockies 3-2
 
A.J. Ramos closed in the 10th for his seventh save. He struck out Troy Tulowitzki as the Rockies shortstop tried to back away from an inside pitch. Plate umpire Mike DiMuro ruled Tulowitzki was in the act of swinging.
Jose Urena pitched six innings of three-hit ball and was in line for his first major league win, but the Miami bullpen couldn't protect a 2-1 lead. Urena kept the Rockies off balance with a fastball that routinely hit 95 mph. He was taken out for Carter Capps in the seventh.
Capps promptly gave up the homer by Gonzalez, the first homer the usually reliable reliever has allowed all season. Capps hung a slider that Gonzalez lined just over the fence in right. It was Gonzalez's second straight game with a home run.
Kyle Kendrick settled in after a rocky start and retired 12 straight before Dee Gordon's single in the fifth. Kendrick lasted seven innings and allowed two runs against a team he's typically bottled up in the past.
Kendrick is 14-3 with a 3.40 ERA versus the Marlins. He's tied with Livan Hernandez for the fifth-most wins against Miami, behind Greg Maddux (19), Tom Glavine (17), Tim Hudson (15) and John Smoltz (15).
Miami had back-to-back singles off Kendrick to begin the game. Just when it looked as though Kendrick might wiggle out of trouble, Ozuna delivered a two-run single to left. Ozuna is hitting .455 with 10 RBIs against Colorado in 11 career games.
