    Florida Marlins fans booed slumping Hanley Ramirez when he struck out in the eighth inning. Two batters later, they demanded a curtain call from Mike Stanton.

    The turnaround in mood came quickly Sunday for the Marlins, who blew an eighth-inning lead before Stanton hit a three-run homer to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-3.

    Omar Infante had a bases-loaded triple, Florida's only hit off Rockies starter Ubaldo Jimenez.

    The Marlins won with just three hits, none by Ramirez. The All-Star shortstop drew jeers for the second game in a row and finished 0 for 4, dropping his average to .182.

    Even so, Ramirez said he's having the most fun of his career.
