CINCINNATI, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Ross Gload's two-run pinch-hit homer Saturday boosted the Florida Marlins to a 3-2 win over Cincinnati.

Gload, batting for winner Ricky Nolasco, erased a 2-1 deficit with one out in the top of the eighth.

One of two hits by Jorge Cantu was a solo fifth-inning homer, while Chris Coghlan added two hits for the Marlins, who made the most of six hits and have won four of five.

Nolasco (12-9) yielded two runs and four hits in seven innings with a walk and 10 strikeouts.

Closer Matt Lindstrom, the last of four Florida pitchers, earned his 15th save.

Cincinnati's runs came on solo homers by Drew Stubbs in the first and Ryan Hanigan in the seventh.

Stubbs and Joey Votto had two hits each for the Reds, who have dropped two straight following a four-game winning streak.

The losing pitcher was starter Bronson Arroyo (13-13).
