Marlon Byrd hit a game-tying two-run homer off Mike Dunn in the eighth inning Thursday against the Marlins.
Byrd has two homers, two doubles and six RBI during his current five-game hitting streak. There's a long way to go, but so far, his controversial two-year, $16 million deal is looking like a big win for Ruben Amaro.
