MLB: Florida 5, Baltimore 2

The Marlins won their fourth straight and their eighth in 11 games. They moved above the .500 mark for the first time since May 12.

Nolasco (4-6) won his second straight start after returning from a brief demotion to Class AAA.

Hanley Ramirez singled in two runs in the first for Florida and Cody Ross drove in two runs as well with a double in the fourth and a single in the eighth.

Jason Berken (1-4) took the loss, allowing three runs on four hits over five innings.

Dan Meyer worked a perfect ninth for the first save of his career. He was given the closer role when Matt Lindstrom went on the 15-day disabled list with a right elbow sprain.
