SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- A sacrifice fly by Bengie Molina in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday gave the San Francisco Giants a 6-5 win over the Florida Marlins.

The Giants loaded the bases on a walk to Dave Roberts, a single by Randy Winn and an intentional walk to Aaron Rowand. Molina then hit a fly to deep center field to end the game.

The Marlins' John Baker had tied the contest in the top of the ninth with a pinch-hit, three-run homer.

Winn hit a solo home run for the Giants, who have won four of their last six games.

Jeremy Hermida belted a two-run homer for Florida.

Reliever Brian Wilson (1-2) gave up the homer to Baker but picked up the win.

Matt Lindstrom (1-2) took the loss.
