GAME LOG
MIAMI (AP) _ Cliff Floyd had four hits and a career-high six RBIs, including his first career grand slam, and Reid Cornelius won his first game in nearly three months as the Florida Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 11-5 on Saturday. Floyd's 421-foot shot to right-center field broke open a close game in the sixth inning. Leading 5-4, the Marlins loaded the bases with none out before Floyd hit his 22nd home run of the season off reliever Thomas Jacquez. Cornelius (4-10) picked up his first win since July 2 at Montreal, allowing three runs and six hits in four innings. Cornelius took over for starting pitcher Jesus Sanchez after a 1 hour, 28-minute rain delay between the second and third innings. Philadelphia's Robert Person (9-7) allowed five runs and 11 hits over five innings. The Marlins had 17 hits, tying their season high. The Phillies took a 2-1 lead in top of the fourth inning after Bobby Abreu scored on a double by Brian Hunter. The Marlins answered with three runs in the bottom of the fourth. Preston Wilson scored on a sacrifice fly by Nate Rolison. Mike Lowell doubled and scored on a double by Ramon Castro, and Cornelius helped his own cause when he executed a squeeze play, scoring David Berg to give the Marlins a 4-2 lead. After loading the bases with none out in the fifth, Person was lifted for Jacquez. The Marlins made it 5-2 after Floyd scored on a sacrifice fly by Rolison, his second of the game. A two-run home run by Pat Burrell, his 18th, pulled the Phillies to 5-4 in the sixth inning. The Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the first. Doug Glanville led off with a double, advanced to third on a ground out, then scored on a sacrifice fly by Abreu. The Marlins tied it in the second after Lowell led off with a double, took third on a groundout and scored on a sacrifice fly by Berg. ^Notes@: Rolison picked up his first two career RBIs with the sacrifice flies. He also picked up his first major league hit with a sixth-inning single. ... Cornelius got his first career RBI on his squeeze bunt. ... Pablo Ozuna hit his first career double in the third inning. ... Mike Lowell's two doubles brings his total to 38 for the season, the third-highest total in Marlins' history. Bobby Bonilla had 39 in 1997 and Floyd had 45 in 1998. ... The rain delay between the second and third innings was the 10th of the season at Pro Player Stadium. Only one game was postponed, against Atlanta in July. Abreu stole his 27th base when he swiped third in the fourth inning. That ties his career high, set last season. ... Burrell's sixth-inning homer gave him the NL lead for rookies. Mark Quinn of Kansas City leads all rookies with 20.
