 MIAMI (AP) - Ryan Freel hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning, and the Cincinnati Reds won their fourth game in a row Thursday by rallying past the Florida Marlins 7-5.
The Reds blew an early 3-0 lead and trailed 5-3 before scoring four runs in the eighth against Armando Benitez (2-5). Freel capped the comeback with his third home run, giving him 15 RBIs this season.
Cincinnati scored three in the first after right fielder Jeremy Hermida appeared to lose a routine two-out fly in the sun, but Matt Belisle was unable to protect the lead. Winless since May 29, he allowed nine hits and five runs in 4 2-3 innings.
