Ichiro Suzuki hit a pinch-hit, tie-breaking three-run shot as the Miami Marlins pulled away for a 12-8 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday.

With the game knotted at three in the seventh, Suzuki delivered Aaron Nola's fourth pitch -- a two-seam fastball -- into the right-center stands at Citizens Bank Park to tie a single-season team record for the most pinch-hits set by Ross Gload in 2009 with 21.

Suzuki hit a 3-1 pitch for his third homer of the season to spark a six-run inning, and the Marlins added three more runs in the ninth to take the first game of a doubleheader that featured nine home runs.

"I first thought about advancing runners to second and third," said Suzuki, who initially thought about bunting.

"But the first two pitches were balls. So then I thought about driving it if one came over the plate."

Japanese compatriot and Marlins teammate Junichi Tazawa relieved Dan Straily (8-8) in the seventh, but allowed an RBI sacrifice fly to Maikel Franco that made it 9-4.

Suzuki and Tazawa did not play in the second game, but the Marlins beat the Phillies 7-4 for their third straight victory.

At Comerica Park in Detroit, Masahiro Tanaka came off the disabled list to work seven innings for the win, while opposing starter Matthew Boyd was knocked out in 2-1/3 innings in the New York Yankees' 13-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

Tanaka (9-10), who went on the 10-day DL because of right shoulder inflammation on Aug. 12, gave up three earned runs on six hits, including a two-run homer to Nicholas Castellanos in the seventh. He struck out four, walking none.

"It's been a while, but I didn't think about doing anything different," said Tanaka.

"My pitches weren't especially great, but it was good I could throw them off balance and get outs."

Boyd (5-7) was charged with seven runs on seven hits in taking the loss.

At Tropicana Field in Florida, Norichika Aoki led off the game with a homer, but the Toronto Blue Jays failed to hold on in a 6-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Aoki, who went 1-for-3, homered off Chris Archer (9-7) and drove in another run on an RBI sacrifice fly in the fifth, but could not help the Blue Jays from falling to their fourth straight loss.
