HOUSTON -- It was a power display for the Marlins on Friday night. Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesús Aguilar showcased their might, each launching two long balls for a combined distance of 1,544 feet.

The Marlins tied a season high with four homers in one game in their 7-4 win over the Astros at Minute Maid Park.

“We’ve been able to get the hits when we need them, and we’ve gotten the outs when we need them,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “For the most part -- other than Sandy [Alcantara’s] game -- we’ve scored, so when we get going like that and our pitching holds up, it's going to be good enough.” 

The Marlins picked up where they left off in the sweep of the Nationals -- with the bats hot.

Chisholm is one of the players with a hot bat, coming off a series against the Nationals in which he went 4-for-14 with two homers and six RBIs. The 24-year-old continued his productive streak on Friday.

Chisholm led off the night with a 407-foot blast, which was his fifth leadoff homer of the season. In the fifth inning, he snuck another over the right-center-field wall for a two-run blast.

The second baseman now has three career multi-homer games, two of which came in his last four games.  

“That’s nothing I haven’t done before,” Chisholm said. “We are just going to keep on pushing and keep on going. I wouldn’t mind another one tomorrow and have three [in one week]. We’re here just to enjoy it and have fun every day. We’re never satisfied with what we do -- we’re not in first place, so we are going to keep going.”

Aguilar is one of the many batters trending upwards for the Marlins, having recorded a hit in seven of his last nine games with five extra-base hits and seven RBIs. He had a slow start to the season in April, when he slashed .231/.354/.277 with one homer. He bounced back in May, when he slashed .271/.290/.490 and had nine multi-hit games.

Aguilar continued that trend on Friday, showing his power early in the game after hitting a solo shot to left field that traveled 394 feet. He was not done, as he hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning that went 432 feet and had an exit velocity of 105.7 mph.

The blasts marked a milestone for Aguilar, as they were his 100th and 101st career homers.

“Nobody thought I was going to play in MLB, so being one of those Venezuelans to have 100 home runs means a lot to me and my family,” Aguilar said.  

The six RBIs the pair produced proved to be big in order to hold off the Astros. Marlins starter Pablo López had a solid outing 4 1/3 innings in, but he was forced to exit after being hit by a Michael Brantley comebacker with an exit velocity of 100.5 mph. López was diagnosed with a right wrist contusion, and X-rays came back negative.

After his exit, the bullpen gave up three runs, one of which was charged to López, but it held on to finish the game. 

“Just getting on the board early was good,” Mattingly said. “Jazz and Aguilar get us on the board, [the Astros] get one right back. Then, the two-run homers in the fifth inning pushed us out enough that we were able to get a little bit more of a cushion and kind of sustain. It was not a one-run game -- we had room for error, and I felt we were going to need that all day.”
