Charlie Blackmon hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning, and the Colorado Rockies defeated the Miami Marlins 6-1 on Friday night.

Blackmon, who won the National League batting title in 2017, went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and one steal.

The Rockies have taken the first two games of the season-opening series, holding Miami to a total of four runs on just six hits. The Marlins managed only two hits Friday, including Curtis Granderson's fourth-inning homer.

German Marquez (1-0), who set the Rockies record last season with 230 strikeouts, earned the win on Friday, giving up two hits and one run in six innings. He struck out seven and walked three.

Marlins starter Trevor Richards pitched well -- allowing four hits, two walks and one run in six innings -- and got a no-decision. He struck out four.

Lefty reliever Adam Conley (0-1) took the loss, giving up seventh-inning doubles to a pair of left-handed hitters -- Ryan McMahon and Blackmon.

Granderson's homer was the fourth in two games for Miami, all of them solo shots.

Three of the homers were hit by players competing in their first game in a Marlins uniform -- Granderson on Friday and Neil Walker and Jorge Alfaro on Thursday.

In the fourth inning, Granderson pulled a 94 mph fastball on a 3-1 count, sending a line drive over the wall in right. That was Miami's first hit of the game.

Colorado tied the score 1-1 in the sixth. With two outs and no one on, Trevor Story fell behind in the count 1-2 before drawing a walk. On the next pitch, David Dahl pulled a ground-ball double to right. Story scored from first, beating the throw home.

Miami failed to score in the bottom of the sixth despite getting a hit, two walks and a hit-by-pitch. Rosell Herrera was caught stealing and Starlin Castro bounced out with the bases loaded to end the threat.

The Marlins brought in Conley in for the seventh, but Colorado foiled the move as McMahon started the game-winning rally by lining an opposite-field double. Two outs later, Blackmon lined an opposite-field RBI double that hit the line in left field.

McMahon started a four-run rally with a leadoff walk in the ninth, scoring from first when Tony Wolters doubled to right. Blackmon and Nolan Arenado added RBI singles to put the game away.
