BRADENTON, Fla. - RHP Dereck Rodriguez (W, 4-2) unleashed six shutout innings as Daniel Kihle's two-run home run lifted the Fort Myers Miracle (26-29) to a 2-0 win over the Bradenton Marauders (32-23) on Friday night.

Rodriguez surrendered just three singles over his six frames while striking out six. With a 2-0 lead, RHP Williams Ramirez walked one of seven batters he faced and retired the other six. In the ninth, RHP Alex Muren (S, 1) took care of business with a 1-2-3 inning.
