Avisaíl García hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning and Sandy Alcantara pitched a complete game, lifting the Miami Marlins to a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night.

With two outs, García hit the first pitch he saw from Ryan Helsley (3-1 ) over the wall in center field for his fifth homer. Jesús Sánchez, who walked to begin the inning, also scored.

It was the second blown save this season for Helsley, who recorded the save Tuesday with three strikeouts in the ninth.

Dylan Carlson drove in two runs while Juan Yepez hit two doubles and Edmundo Sosa also had two hits, including a triple and two runs scored for the Cardinals.

Alcantara (8-3) picked up his first victory against his original team. Alcantara improved to 1-3 in five starts against St. Louis. He gave up seven hits and three runs in his second complete game of the season.
