MIAMI, July 14 (UPI) -- Sergio Mitre allowed two earned runs and six hits in 7 2/3 innings Saturday night to help the Florida Marlins beat Washington, 5-2.
Mitre got run support from Miguel Cabrera (a two-run homer in the bottom of the first), Jeremy Hermida (a solo homer in the second) and Jason Willingham (a two-run homer in the sixth).
Hermida had two of the seven hits for the Marlins, who have won three of their last five games.

Washington's Ronny Belliard and Austin Kearns drove in a run apiece.
Ryan Zimmerman had a run and two of the six hits for the Nationals, who had their three-game winning streak snapped.
Loser Matt Chico (4-6) surrendered five earned runs and seven hits in six innings, with three walks and five strikeouts.
