Martinez (3-9), who grew up in Miami, allowed two runs on six hits and Neftali Feliz gave up two homers in the ninth before notching his fifth save.

Marcell Ozuna went 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs while Christian Yelich added three hits as the Marlins fell four games back in the race for the National League’s second wild card. Miami starter Nathan Eovaldi (6-8) lasted five innings while yielding five runs (four earned) and nine hits, losing for the fifth time in his last six decisions.

Rios and Beltre singled with two out in the first inning before scoring on J.P. Arencibia’s RBI double to left and an error by shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria. Martin followed with an RBI single and Texas built another rally in the second, capped by Rios’ two-out, two-run bloop double.
