SAN DIEGO, July 21 (UPI) -- Emilio Bonifacio drove in the winning run with a bases-loaded walk Monday and the Florida Marlins beat San Diego 3-2.

Hanley Ramirez stroked a solo home run and Dan Uggla and Jeremy Hermida had two hits apiece for the Marlins, who were coming off a three-game sweep by the Phillies and won for just the second time in their last five games.

Florida starter Rick VandenHurk (1-0) went six innings, allowing two runs on five hits with two walks and four strikeouts to get the victory.

Leo Nunez earned his fifth save with a scoreless ninth.

Adrian Gonzalez and Kevin Kouzmanoff hit back-to-back sixth-inning homers to give the Padres a 2-1 lead.

The Marlins went ahead 3-2 in the seventh when Greg Burke (2-2) gave up two runs on three hits with one walk in just 1/3 of an inning to take the loss for San Diego, which has lost four of its last five games.
