Lopez’s double against Rick Mears cleared the bases, although he only got credit for two RBIs because the third run scored on a fielding error by center fielder Blake Perkins. Aaron Ashby (1-1), who allowed the leadoff batter to reach on an infield single, took the loss.

The Miami Marlins were five outs away from securing a sweep against the hottest team in the National League, and winning their third series in a row.

MILWAUKEE — Heriberto Hernandez hit a go-ahead three-run homer and the Miami Marlins beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4 on Saturday night. Agustín Ramírez and Dane Myers also homered for the Marlins in their fourth straight win.
