MIAMI (AP) — Dan Uggla hit two of Florida’s four homers and drove in four runs, leading Anibal Sanchez and the Marlins to a 7-2 victory over the New York Mets on Friday night.
Chris Coghlan hit the first home run by a left-handed batter for Florida this season, and Gaby Sanchez also connected. The Marlins totaled more than four runs for the first time in 10 games and scored first for only the second time in the past 14, building a 7-0 lead.
All the homers came off struggling Oliver Perez, matching his career high. He had given up only one previously this season.
Meanwhile, the Mets’ offense continued to misfire. New York managed only four hits and two runs against Anibal Sanchez (2-2), who pitched seven innings and struck out seven.
