In the sixth inning, the Marlins extended their lead to 3-0. Casey McGehee led off with a double to deep center field and scored on a Garrett Jones triple to the center-field fence. Jones would then cross the plate on a sacrifice fly to left by Saltalamacchia.
With David Huff pitching for San Francisco(27-17) in the top of the seventh, Giancarlo Stanton smashed a solo home run on a 0-1 pitch to center field with two out for his 12th homer of the season.
The Fish capped the shutout in the ninth inning. Hechavarria reached second on an error by right fielder Hunter Pence and was driven in by pinch-hitter Jeff Baker on a base hit to left-center field.
