Lowry effective as Giants down sloppy Marlins

<h3>SAN FRANCISCO 6, FLORIDA 5</h3>By Mike Snyder
PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer


MIAMI (Ticker) - The San Francisco Giants didn't need BarryBonds to pick up a victory. The Florida Marlins beatthemselves.


Noah Lowry hurled 5 1/3 effective innings and the Giants scoredthree runs on two errors in the seventh inning en route to a 6-5victory over the Marlins in the third contest of a four-gameset on Sunday afternoon.


Ray Durham drove in two runs for San Francisco, which has won aseason-high four straight road games. The Giants did it thistime without Bonds, who ripped his 760th career home run onSaturday night.


"In this game, part of it is getting breaks and a little luck,"Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "The last couple (of) games,it's gone our way."


With the game tied, 3-3, in the seventh, the Marlins imploded.Guillermo Rodriguez reached on an error to start the frame andRyan Klesko followed with a single.


Marlins pitcher Lee Gardner (3-4) then fielded Rajai Davis'sground ball and threw wildly past first, allowing Rodriguez toscore and sending Klesko to third. Right fielder Cody Ross madethings worse, throwing the ball away to plate Klesko.

"It got away from (Marlins second baseman Dan) Uggla, and I wasin the right position and I was where I was supposed to be and(Florida center fielder) Alejandro De Aza was where he wassupposed to be," Ross said of his error. "It was a tough playbecause he was running in, and I was throwing the ball. It justdidn't look pretty, but everybody was in the right position."

Davis scored the final run of the frame when Daniel Ortmeier hita sacrifice fly to make it 6-3.


Florida manager Fredi Gonzalez was not around to see it, though,after he was ejected between the fourth and fifth innings forarguing with umpire Tim McClelland. It was the third time therookie manager has been tossed this season.


"That's probably one of the worst innings we've ever haddefensively," Gonzalez said. "It wasn't pretty watching it onTV. It just snowballed. We just didn't handle the ball good."

Lowry allowed three runs and five hits while striking out threeand walking five but he appeared to tire in the heat andhumidity in the sixth.


However, the lefthander disagreed.


"I felt like I was cutting the ball off and fighting againstmyself," Lowry said of the sixth. "When that happens (everypitch) is up in the zone. ... (The heat) wasn't too bad today.I've pitched here when it's been worse so the heat didn't playinto anything."


Vinnie Chulk (5-4) came on in relief of Lowry with one out inthe sixth who easily recorded the last two outs of the inning.Four relievers then tossed the final three frames, includingBrad Hennessey, who tossed a perfect ninth for his 12th save.

"The bullpen came in and closed the door," Lowry said. "It wasupsetting for me to give up that three-run lead but our guysshowed a lot of heart and came back."


Kevin Frandsen and Ray Durham hit home runs to stake the Giantsto a 3-0 lead.


Miguel Cabrera knocked in a pair of runs with a double to leftfield, and Josh Willingham followed with a run-scoring double tocap a three-run fifth for Florida.


Marlins starter Dontrelle Willis pitched six innings, allowingthree runs and seven hits while striking out three and walkingone. He departed after throwing 116 pitches.


"It was probably the toughest (loss)," Willis said. "We wereright there in the end."


Willingham homered and had three RBI for the Marlins, who left14 runners on base.


"We just couldn't get the big hit in the end," said Willingham,who lined out with the bases loaded in the eighth.
