Dan Uggla hit two homers and drove in four runs to propel the Marlins to a 6-4 win over the Padres. Mark Hendrickson threw a solid seven innings to earn the win, his fifth of the season. He scattered five hits that turned into three runs, the big blow being two run homer by Khalil Greene.
Kevin Kouzmanhoff had four hits, going 4-4 on the day. Only three other players had hits for the Padres, including Greene’s homer. For the Marlins, Uggla had the big game with two homers, but not to be outdone, Jeremy Hermida had three hits to support Hendrickson.
Justin Germano was roughed up for nine hits and six runs in just 5.2 innings to drop him to 0-3. Wil Ledezma threw a scoreless eighth with two K’s to bring his ERA to 1.08 and continue his solid start. Hanley Ramirez stole his tenth base of the year for the Marlins, also being caught for the fourth time immediately after taking second on trying to steal third.
The loss drops the Padres to 11-19.
