Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
LOS ANGELES, July 7 (UPI) -- A two-out bunt single by Hanley Ramirez in the 10th inning Friday night drove in Eric Reed from third and gave Florida a 6-5 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Florida tied it in the ninth when Miguel Cabrera doubled home Dan Uggla against closer Takashi Saito. The Marlins scored the winning run off Brett Tomko -- the Dodgers' seventh pitcher of the night.
Tomko (1-7) walked Jeremy Hermida to open the 10th and Reed came on as a pinch-runner. Reed stole second with one out and Alfredo Amezaga drew a walk.
After Todd Linden forced Amezaga at second for the second out of the inning, Ramirez put down a surprise bunt on the first pitch and beat it out for an RBI single.
That made a winner out of Renyel Pinto (1-3), who pitched two innings of one-hit relief.
Kevin Gregg earned his 18th save, retiring the first two men in the bottom of the 10th, and then loading the bases before finally getting Juan Pierre to pop out to end the game.
