The only run he would need scored on the second of three hits by John Baker, a one-out, fourth-inning single.

Dan Uggla's lone hit was a three-run, ninth-inning homer, his 16th this season.

Miami, July 3: A two-run homer by Ramon Vazquez and a two-run double by Andrew McCutchen Friday pushed the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 7-4 decision over Florida.

The Marlins, who had won eight of their previous 11 games, dropped out of a first-place tie with Philadelphia in the National League East.

Charlie Morton (1-1), making only his fourth start of the season, threw six shutout innings to get the win.

Brandon Moss put Pittsburgh in front with a solo homer in the first and Vazquez delivered his two-run blast in the second. McCutchen's double came during Pittsburgh's three-run seventh that boosted the Pirates to a 7-0 lead.
