Marlins rout Reds behind Uggla's offense

Baseball Betting Lines

07/21/2007 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dan Uggla went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI as the Florida Marlins pounded the Cincinnati Reds, 10-2, in game two of a four-game series.

Scott Olsen (8-7), who had served a two-game suspension laid down by Marlins general manager Fredi Gonzalez for insubordination and conduct detrimental to the team, got the win as he gave up just two runs on four hits in seven innings.

The penalty stemmed from an incident occurring after Olsen argued with the manager when he was lifted from his last start, a 5-3 defeat of Washington on July 15.

Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run home run and drove in three, Miguel Olivo added a two-run homer and Hanley Ramirez had three hits and drove in a pair for the Marlins, who had lost three of four.

Jeff Conine and Brandon Phillips each hit homers while Kyle Lohse (5-12) got pounded for seven runs -- four earned -- on eight hits in 6 2/3 innings for the Reds, who had a season-high four-game winning streak stopped.

The Marlins took a 3-0 lead in the third. Alfredo Amezaga started off the inning with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from Olsen. Ramirez then brought home Amezaga with a double to right. After Uggla lined out, Cabrera blasted a shot into the left field stands.

The Reds got one back in the fourth as Conine hit a two-out home run to left and make it a 3-1 game.

Uggla gave Florida a 4-1 lead in the sixth as he led off the frame with his 18th homer of the year. Cabrera followed with a shot to right that Norris Hopper appeared to have a beat on, but a fan reached over the wall and grabbed the ball. The umpires ruled Cabrera out on the play.

Cincinnati got the run back in the seventh as Phillips hit a home run into the left field stands.

Florida, though, plated three more runners in the bottom of the seventh for a five-run lead. Uggla punched a two-out double to center to score Olivo and Amezaga. After Jared Burton took the mound, Cabrera punched a single to center to plate Uggla for a 7-2 advantage.

The Marlins continued to punish Cincinnati's pitchers in the eighth inning. Olivo hit a two-run home run, a batter later Todd Linden hit a triple off the center field wall and Ramirez followed with an RBI double.
