Baseball Betting Lines

09/08/2007 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Miguel Olivo went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored as the Florida Marlins downed the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-3, to open a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park.

Cody Ross had a pair of hits, scored a run and drove in one while Byung-Hyun Kim (9-6) pitched six innings of seven-hit, three-run ball for the Marlins, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

J.D. Durbin (6-5) got the loss after giving up five runs, two earned, on five hits with four walks and three strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings. Pat Burrell hit a three-run home run for the Phillies, who have dropped five of their last six games.

Philadelphia now sits six games behind the Mets for first place in the NL East and 3 1/2 games behind San Diego for the wild card.

Florida took the lead in the second inning. With runners on first and third and one out, Ross punched a double to left that scored both Miguel Cabrera and then Mike Jacobs, when Burrell misplayed fumbled the ball in the corner. After Olivo walked, Kim laid down a sac bunt that Ryan Howard fielded cleanly, but threw into the outfield trying to get Ross at third, allowing both Ross and Olivo to score for a 4-0 lead.

Burrell atoned for his error in the third when he blasted a three-run shot over the left field wall that just barely stayed fair to make it a 4-3 game.

However, the Marlins got a run back in the fourth when Olivo knocked a solo homer into the left field stands for a 5-3 advantage.

The Phillies had a chance to make it a one-run game in the fifth when Rod Barajas led off with a double, but Kim retired the next three batters to kill the threat.

Florida tacked on some insurance in the eighth as Olivo's double off the center field wall plated Reggie Abercrombie for a 6-3 lead.
