OAKLAND, Calif. -- Justin Bour went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBIs and four runs, leading the Miami Marlins to an 11-9 victory against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night in the opener of a two-game, interleague series at the Oakland Coliseum.

The Marlins pounded out a season-high 19 hits, including three each by Dee Gordon and Giancarlo Stanton. Derek Dietrich, J.T. Realmuto and J.T. Riddle each had two hits. Dietrich, Gordon and Ichiro Suzuki had two RBIs apiece.

Every Marlins batter in the starting lineup had at least one hit before Oakland got a second out in the top of the third inning. Gordon already had two hits by then, including a triple, as Miami built a 7-1 lead.

Bour hit his team-high 12th home run of the season, a solo shot in the seventh, and has homered in eight of his past 12 games.

A's right-hander Jesse Hahn (1-4) left the game in the top of the third inning with a right triceps strain. Hahn gave up five runs on seven hits over two-plus innings, striking out two without issuing a walk.

The velocity on Hahn's fastball in the third had a decided drop, from its regular 93-95 mph to 90. He gave up a single to Christian Yelich and fell behind 2-1 in the count to Marcell Ozuna in the third. At that point, trainer Nick Paparesta and manager Bob Melvin came to the mound, and Hahn left the game.

Oakland's Yonder Alonso hit his 13th home run of the season, a leadoff shot in the second, tying Khris Davis for the team lead. Alonso was hit by a pitch by left-hander Jarlin Garcia in his right hand in the sixth. After going into the A's dugout, Alonso jogged to first base and stayed in for the rest of the sixth, then left the game with contusions on his right hand and wrist.

X-rays were negative.

Ryon Healy hit a three-run homer in the fourth inning for the A's, and Rajai Davis added a two-run blast in the ninth when Oakland scored three times off A.J. Ramos. Jed Lowrie went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs.

Marlins right-hander Jose Urena (2-2) gave up six runs on four hits over five innings in his fourth start of the season. He struck out three, walked two and allowed two home runs.

The A's trailed 8-4 through five innings but cut Miami's lead to 8-6 in the sixth on back-to-back doubles by Lowrie and Khris Davis and an RBI single by Stephen Vogt.

Bour made it 9-6 with a leadoff home run in the seventh, and the Marlins added two run in the ninth.

The Marlins scored one run in the first inning, three in the second and three in the third to build a 7-1 lead.

Gordon led off the game with a bunt single, stole second, moved to third when catcher Stephen Vogt's throw went into center field for an error and scored on Stanton's single.

In the second, Miami had five hits off Hahn, including an RBI triple by Gordon, a double by Riddle and a two-run single by Suzuki.

Oakland answered with a run in the bottom of the second when Alonso, who returned to the lineup after missing four games with a strained left knee, hit a leadoff home run. He sent Urena's 95 mph, 3-2 fastball into the right-center field seats.

In the third, Miami had four more hits, including RBI doubles by Marcell Ozuna and Bour and a run-scoring single by Dietrich off reliever Bobby Wahl.

Oakland cut Miami's lead to 7-4 in the fourth when Healy lined a three-run shot, his eighth homer of the season, over the 400-foot sign in center field. He homered after Urena hit Jed Lowrie with a pitch and walked Khris Davis.

The Marlins responded with three more hits and a run in the fifth, making it 8-4 on Dietrich's RBI single.
