With runners at first and second and one out, Ryan Jeffers and Jose Miranda each collected run scoring hits before Mark Contreras capped off the inning with a sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Royce Lewis gave the Miracle a 4-0 lead with a second inning sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Florida scored both of their runs in the fourth. Riley Delgado opened the inning with a single before scoring on a Jefrey Ramos triple, one of two triples on the night for Ramos. Greyson Jenista followed with a sacrifice fly to trim the deficit to two runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Miracle added an insurance run in the eighth on an RBI double by Michael Helman. Helman finished 2-for-3 with a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miracle starter Edwar Colina turned in another strong performance. The right-hander allowed two runs on seven hits in six innings. Colina (3-1) has won three straight decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex Phillips pitched two scoreless innings before giving way to Hector Lujan. Lujan earned his fourth save of the year with a perfect ninth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The four-game series continues on Tuesday night. Right-hander Blayne Enlow (1-0, 1.50) will start for the Miracle.
