MLB: Florida 11, Baltimore 3

MIAMI, June 25 (UPI) -- Homers by Cody Ross, Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez accounted for eight runs Thursday and sent the Florida Marlins romping past Baltimore 11-3.

The Marlins won their fifth game in a row and equaled their largest run output of the season. They scored 11 times at Toronto June 14.

Florida, which finished a 5-1 homestand that included two victories over the New York Yankees, has won nine of its last 12 games. All nine triumphs have come against American League teams.

Ross opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the second and Uggla had a two-run blast as part of a three-run third. Ramirez contributed a grand slam during a five-run eighth.

The Marlins finished with 17 hits.

Sean West (3-2) threw six shutout innings, allowing five hits. All of Baltimore's runs came in the ninth off Chris Leroux.

Rich Hill (3-2) was roughed up for six runs on eight hits over 4 1/3.
