GAME LOG
MIAMI (AP) -- Adrian Beltre hit a two-out, two-run double in the eighth inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers won for the fifth time in six games, beating the Florida Marlins 5-3 Friday night. The Dodgers scored three runs in the eighth, spoiling another solid outing by Vladimir Nunez. Nunez pitched seven innings, allowing five hits and two runs. But the bullpen couldn't hold the lead. Braden Looper, replacing Nunez to start the eighth, gave up doubles to Gary Sheffield and Beltre. He also walked Shawn Green and surrendered an RBI single to Chad Kreuter. Matt Herges (2-0) pitched a scoreless seventh, Terry Adams pitched a scoreless eighth and Jeff Shaw allowed two hits in the ninth before earning his 11th save. Nunez, meanwhile, got his third consecutive no-decision, all coming in strong starts. He held the Dodgers scoreless through four innings before giving up a pair of runs in the fifth. Dodgers starter Chan Ho Park looped a single into center field, and with two outs, Mark Grudzielanek tripled over Preston Wilson's head in center. Wilson slipped as he trotted toward the line drive and couldn't get up in time to make the catch. Sheffield then singled home Grudzielanek, giving Los Angeles a 2-1 lead. Kevin Millar got the only hit off Park through the first five innings. He hit a home run, his fourth of the season, to left field in the second. The Marlins, who have lost four of their last five, started to get to Park in the sixth. Mark Kotsay tripled over the head of Todd Hollandsworth, scoring Luis Castillo from first and tying the game. Kotsay scored on a passed ball. Park allowed three hits and three runs in six innings. He walked four and struck out five. Game notesCastillo was caught stealing in the third inning, breaking the Marlins' streak of 15 straight stolen bases. It also broke Castillo's personal streak of 14 straight. ... Wilson struck out once to give him a major league-high 60. ... The announced crowd of 16,467 was the smallest the Dodgers have played in front of since their season-opening trip to Montreal. | ALSO SEE Baseball Scoreboard Los Angeles Clubhouse Florida Clubhouse RECAPS Boston 3 Detroit 0
