Luis Arraez singled home the winning run with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and the Miami Marlins ended an eight-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.

With the Rockies playing five infielders, Arraez hit a line drive to an empty right field off Pierce Johnson (1-5), scoring Joey Wendle from third.

"I saw the five infielders and that there was no right fielder," Arraez said, "so I’m just thinking ‘if he throws one there inside, I’m going to pull it.’ The good thing is we win the game. It’s been a long time since we won."

Arraez connected on a 1-1 curveball for his first career walk-off hit.

"He looked to the one place they weren’t and was just like ‘I’m gonna hit it there.’ That’s just who he is," Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said. "It’s an incredible bat-to-ball skill, nothing like I’ve seen in my playing days or coaching days."

Arraez went 3-for-4, raising his league-leading batting average to .379.

"He’s the leading hitter in the National League, he gets base hits," Rockies manager Bud Black said. "You know, it was a scenario that obviously we didn’t want to get to. He dug it out for a line drive."

Huascar Brazoban (4-2) was the winning pitcher for Miami, which earned its first victory since the All-Star break.
