Rookie Owen Caissie drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, and Liam Hicks posted three RBIs as the host Miami Marlins rallied to defeat the Colorado Rockies 4-3 on Saturday afternoon.

Pete Fairbanks, acquired as an offseason free agent, earned his second save in two games for the Marlins.

Caissie, acquired in January from the Cubs as part of the package for Edward Cabrera, went 3-for-4 with a double, a steal and one RBI. Hicks had a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly.

Colorado hit a pair of homers: a two-run shot by Ezequiel Tovar and TJ Rumfield's solo blast. Rumfield's homer was the first of his major-league career in just his second game.

Neither starting pitcher earned a decision, although Miami's Eury Perez delivered a quality start by allowed three runs, five hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out eight.

Colorado's Michael Lorenzen allowed three runs, seven hits and no walks with four strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.

Calvin Faucher (1-0) earned the win with one inning of scoreless relief.

Jaden Hill (0-1) took the loss, allowing one run and two hits in 1 2/3 innings.

The Rockies opened the scoring in the second inning as Rumfield pulled a 98-mph fastball over the fence at right, a shot estimated at 423 feet.

Colorado somehow escaped a jam in the bottom of the second as Miami put runners on second and third with one out. Catcher Hunter Goodman saved a run with a stellar pitch block before Lorenzen struck out Griffin Conine. After a hit-by-pitch, Rumfield made a nice fielding play at first base to end the inning.

The Marlins tied the score 1-1 in the third as Xavier Edwards singled and went to third on Agustin Ramirez's single. Edwards scored on Hicks' sacrifice fly.

Colorado surged ahead in the fourth as Willi Castro singled, and Tovar blasted his 401-foot homer.

Miami tied the score again, this time in the fifth as Ramirez singled, and Hicks pulled a two-run homer to right to make it 3.

In the eighth, Otto Lopez singled, stole second and scored on Caissie's single, giving the Marlins their second straight one-run win to start the season.
