The Astros, who hold the tiebreaker over Texas, were swept this weekend by Seattle after the AL West-leading Mariners finished the series with a 7-3 win Sunday night. Before that, Houston had swept three games against the Rangers, who finish the regular season next weekend in Cleveland.
Miami (76-80) went ahead to stay in the fourth when Lopez had an RBI double and scored on a single by Heriberto Hernández off Merrill Kelly (12-9). Back-to-back doubles by Jakob Marsee and Agustín Ramírez made it 3-0 in the fifth.
The Marlins were four games behind the New York Mets (80-76) and Cincinnati, who were tied for the last National League wild card.
Lake Bachar (8-2) worked two innings for the win after taking over for 22-year-old starter Eury Pérez, who set a season high by striking out nine in four scoreless innings. Pérez allowed two hits and walked one while throwing 88 pitches.
George Soriano worked the ninth for his first save.
