MILWAUKEE — Hanley Ramirez hit an RBI single off reliever Manny Parra in the 10th inning, and the Miami Marlins beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-6 Wednesday.

Ramirez's big hit came after the Marlins rallied from a one-run deficit in the ninth, when Gaby Sanchez hit a solo home run off Brewers closer John Axford to tie the game at 6.

After the Brewers left a pair of runners on base on the bottom of the ninth, Parra got two quick outs to start the 10th. But he gave up a double to Donovan Solano, then Ramirez singled up the middle to give the Marlins the lead.

Parra (0-3) took the loss, and Wade LeBlanc earned the win (1-0).

Heath Bell pitched the 10th for his 18th save after a rough outing Tuesday.
