SAN DIEGO, July 9 (UPI) -- Florida Marlins' left-hander Scott Olsen held San Diego to four hits and a run in eight innings Wednesday en route to a 5-2 win over the Padres.

Hanley Ramirez added a solo homer for the Marlins.

Scott Hairston homered for San Diego and Chase Headley drove in the Padres' other run with a single.

Cha Seung Baek (2-5) was the losing pitcher, yielding three runs and six hits in five innings.
