Miami -- Emilio Bonifacio tripled and scored a run in the bottom of the ninth inning Thursday, giving the Florida Marlins a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

With the score tied at 2-2, Bonifacio led off the bottom of the ninth with a triple to center. Colorado pitcher Jhoulys Chacin (5-8) intentionally walked the next two batters to set up a force play and get to Ronny Paulino, who answered with a single that drove in Bonifacio.

Leon Nunez (4-2) picked up the victory by pitching the ninth inning, in which he struck out all three Rockies batters.

Florida took a 2-1 lead in the second and held it until the eighth inning when Jonathan Herrera doubled and scored on Jason Giambi's single.

Miami, Aug. 13: Wes Helms produced the only extra base hit in a six-run sixth inning Thursday and the Florida Marlins used that outburst to run past Houston 9-2.

One night after having a five-game winning streak snapped, the Marlins moved a half game in front of idle Atlanta for second place in the National League East, 4 ½ games behind division-leading Philadelphia.

Sean West (4-4) allowed a run on five hits over six innings to get the win and his victory was all but wrapped up when the Marlins sent 10 men to the plate in the sixth.

Helms doubled in the first run of the inning and Ross Gload then delivered a bases-loaded, RBI single.

Florida starter Rick VandenHurk (1-0) went six innings, allowing two runs on five hits with two walks and four strikeouts to get the victory.

San Francisco, July 8: Chris Volstad hurled a complete-game, five-hit shutout Wednesday, helping the Florida Marlins record a 7-0 rout of San Francisco.

His effort also averted a three-game sweep.

The 22-year-old right-hander in his second major league season retired the final 11 batters he faced in his first career complete game with no walks and six strikeouts to improve to 6-8.

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.

San Francisco starter Matt Cain (10-2) got the win, going 6 2/3 innings and allowing just two runs on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks.
