Marlins Burn Padres

     The Miami Marlins pounded the San Diego Padres 9-3 at Petco Park on Sunday to take the three-game series. The Marlins, who have won 11 of their last 16 games, next face the Brewers in Milwaukee. 
     In the second inning, Miami(21-36) broke out to a 2-0 lead. Jorge Alfaro blasted a two-run homer to center field on a 3-1 pitch with Martin Prado scoring in front of him. Garrett Cooper added a solo home run to center field on a 2-2 count during the top of the third. 
     The Marlins expanded it to a five-run margin in the fourth inning. Alfaro ripped a double to the right-field fence which brought home Harold Ramirez and Prado.
     The Fish made it 7-0 in the top of the fifth. Cooper scored on a sacrifice fly to center by Starlin Castro. Ramirez then drove in Brian Anderson with a single to center.
     San Diego(30-29) surrendered another two runs in the seventh and trailed by nine runs. Castro lined a double down the left-field line into the corner and Anderson raced home. Ramirez came up next with a base hit into right-center field for Castro to cross the plate.
     The Padres cut the deficit late in the contest. Hunter Renfroe blasted a solo home run to left-center field in the bottom of the seventh and hit a two-run homer to left-center in the ninth inning.
