Spencer Arrighetti was hit hard in his return after a four-month absence and the Astros couldn't overcome the deficit.

Xavier Edwards connected on four hits and Heriberto Hernandez homered and drove in two runs as the host Miami Marlins defeated the Houston Astros 6-4 on Wednesday.

Liam Hicks, Otto Lopez and Hernández each hit an RBI single off Astros starter Spencer Arrighetti (1-2) in the first to make it 3-2, and the Marlins led the rest of the way. Edwards doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Agustín Ramírez in the second. Hernandez’s homer in the third made it 5-2.
