Ramirez's safety squeeze wins it for Marlins

<h3>FLORIDA 6, LA DODGERS 5</h3>LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Hanley Ramirez's biggest hit traveledless than 90 feet.

Ramirez hit a pair of home runs, but surprised everyone bydriving in the game-winning run with a safety squeeze in the10th inning as the Florida Marlins posted a 6-5 victory over theLos Angeles Dodgers on Friday.

Ramirez, who recorded the third multi-home run game of hiscareer and drove in three runs, surprised the Dodgers bydropping a perfectly placed bunt down the third base line for asingle that scored rookie Eric Reed.

Jeremy Hermida, who made a costly error in the fifth that gavethe Dodgers the lead, helped atone for it by drawing a leadoffwalk from Brett Tomko (1-7) in the 10th.

Reed, who was pinch running for Hermida, stole second with oneout, moved to third on a fielder's choice and scored easily onRamirez's bunt.

It was quite a game for Ramirez, who led off the game with ahomer, hit his second in the seventh to make the score 5-4. Hestruck out three times in between.

Ramirez's last multi-home run game came on September 27 againstCincinnati.

The 23-year-old's huge day helped Renyel Pinto (1-3) pick up hisfirst win of the season. Pinto pitched two scoreless inningsand Kevin Gregg worked out of a two-out bases-loaded jam in the10th to record his 18th save in 19 opportunities.

The Marlins were able to eke out just their fourth win in thelast 11 meetings thanks in large part to Miguel Cabrera, who hita game-tying RBI double off closer Takashi Saito in the ninth.

Saito entered the game with a 5-4 lead but was handed just hissecond blown save of the season when Cabrera's shot into theleft-center field gap scored Dan Uggla - who drew a one-out walk- with the tying run

The Dodgers appeared to be on the verge of snapping a two-gameskid after All-Star Russell Martin hit a game-tying two-runhomer off Dontrelle Willis and Luis Gonzalez hit a go-aheaddouble in a five-run fifth inning.

With Los Angeles trailing, 3-1, Martin hit a 2-0 pitch over theleft field wall for his 10th homer of the season to tie it at3-3.

Martin, who made his first All-Star team, matched his home runtotal of his rookie season.

After a single by Jeff Kent, Gonzalez blasted a 2-1 offeringover the head of a leaping Alfredo Amezega for an RBI double and4-3 lead. Gonzalez then scored on a terrible error by Hermida,who dropped a routine fly ball in right field.

Willis was handed a 3-0 lead but faltered and left trailing,5-3, after six. He allowed five runs - four earned - and sevenhits with six strikeouts and three walks. The lefthander threw66 of 95 pitches for strikes and is now winless since May 29 - aspan of seven starts.

Marlins starter Chad Billingsley left after five innings. Heallowed three runs and seven hits with six strikeouts.

Ramirez, who recorded the third multi-homer game of his careerand drove in three runs, surprised the Dodgers by dropping aperfectly placed bunt down the third base line for a single thatscored rookie Eric Reed.

"You have to look at the situation and do what would give theteam the best chance to win," Ramirez said. "I caught everyoneby surprise, even my teammates."

Jeremy Hermida, who made a costly error in right field in thefifth that gave the Dodgers the lead, helped atone for it bydrawing a leadoff walk from Brett Tomko (1-7) in the 10th.
