MIAMI, July 22 (UPI) -- Dan Uggla and Mike Jacobs each blasted a two-run homer Sunday, powering the Florida Marlins to a 9-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

Uggla finished 4-for-5, including a run-scoring double, Miguel Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a two-run single, and Josh Willingham finished 4-for-5 with an RBI, as Florida has won three straight after dropping the series opener.

Rick Vanden Hurk started for Florida, yielding two runs on seven hits in six innings. Renyel Pinto (2-3) earned the win after hurling a scoreless seventh.

Jeff Keppinger was 4-for-5 with a two-run homer for the Reds, who finished an 11-game road swing at 5-6. Adam Dunn was 2-for-5 with an RBI double.

Cincinnati starter Bronson Arroyo (4-11) pitched well early but couldn't sustain it. The right-hander surrendered four runs on eight hits in six-plus innings of work to pick up the loss. Arroyo issued four walks and fanned six.
