MIAMI, April 16 (UPI) -- Preston Wilson and Kevin Millar delivered two-out RBI doubles in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday night as the Florida Marlins overcame a six-run deficit and defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 7-6.
Duckworth, the Phillies' starter, had his way with the Marlins, recording a career-high 11 strikeouts in six-plus innings. He gave up three hits and left with a 6-1 lead after Mike Lowell opened the seventh with a home run.
Jose Santiago relieved and surrendered a three-run homer to Andy Fox later in the inning and Florida got a run off Ricky Bottalico in the eighth. The Marlins completed their comeback in the ninth against closer Jose Mesa (0-1).
Mike Redmond started the bottom of the ninth with a single. Eric Owens sacrificed pinch runner Marty Malloy over and Mesa struck out Fox for the second out. Millar delivered the first of the key hits, lining a 1-1 pitch off the left field scoreboard to tie it.
Wilson followed by sending a 3-2 pitch over the head of center fielder Doug Glanville, scoring Millar with the winning run.
Gary Knotts (2-0) retired the side in order in the top of the ninth for the win.
