MIAMI (AP) - Ryan Mountcastle hit a go-ahead single in the 10th inning and the Baltimore Orioles rebounded after wasting a six-run lead to beat the Miami Marlins 7-6 on Thursday for their third win in 11 games.

AL East-leading Baltimore (61-41) avoided getting swept in the three-game series against the NL-worst Marlins (37-66).

Anthony Santander hit his 28th homer, and Colton Cowser and Connor Norby also went deep against Roddery Munoz as the Orioles built a 6-0 lead by the fourth inning.

Josh Bell hit a solo homer in the sixth, and Miami closed to 6-3 in the eighth when Xavier Edwards hit an RBI single and scored on Bryan De La Cruz's double.

Craig Kimbrel blew a save for the fifth time in 28 chances after a one-out single and a pair of walks. Jazz Chisholm Jr. drove in a run with a grounder that shortstop Gunnar Henderson bobbled for an error. Edwards hit a sacrifice fly and Bell followed with a tying single.

Yennier Cano (4-2) struck out De La Cruz to strand runners at second and third.

Santander's single against Calvin Faucher (2-2) advanced automatic runner Jordan Westburg to third in the 10th. After Faucher struck out Ryan O'Hearn, Mountcastle singled to right.
