Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Jose Reyes helped end the Miami Marlins' four-
game losing streak by knocking in three runs in Miami's 7-3 victory over the
Milwaukee Brewers.
Ricky Nolasco (11-12) went seven innings for Miami, allowing three runs -- one
earned -- on nine hits. He struck out four and did not walk a batter.
The Marlins' five-run outburst in the fourth inning gave them a 6-2 advantage.
They tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth after an error by
Rickie Weeks allowed catcher Rob Brantly to score from third, who doubled to
right to start the inning.
The Brewers committed four errors in the series opener.
Florida-native Mike Fiers (8-7) was hit with the loss for Milwaukee, lasting
just 3 1/3 innings, giving up six runs -- four earned -- and six hits. He
struck out four and walked four.
Marlins closer Steve Cishek came on in the top of the ninth to earn his 12th
save of the season after Mike Dunn gave up a double to Norichika Aoki and then
walked Rickie Weeks. With two outs, he got Ryan Braun to groundout to second
base to end the game.
