The Marlins' Tyler Moore, playing for injured first baseman Justin Bour, went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and two RBIs.

Jose Urena (5-2), who retired 14 consecutive batters from the second through the fifth innings, earned the win. He went six-plus innings, allowing three hits, one walk and one run while striking out four.

The A's (27-37), who are in last place in the American League West, are 9-24 on the road this season.

Urena balked in a run in the second inning, allowing the A's to take a 1-0 lead. Oakland loaded the bases on two singles and a hit by pitch, and Yonder Alonso went home from third on the balk.

Miami tied the score 1-1 in the fourth on Ozuna's opposite-field homer to right. He hit a 94-mph fastball from Cotton.

The Marlins took a 5-1 lead in the fifth. Leadoff batter Tyler Moore pulled a double down the left-field line that one-hopped the fence. Moore advanced on a fly out and scored on a two-out, opposite-field single by Dee Gordon.
