DENVER, April 25 (UPI) -- Seth Smith knocked a pair of homers and drove in four runs Sunday, boosting the Colorado Rockies to an 8-4 victory over Florida.

The multi-homer game was the first of the Rockies outfielder's career and Miguel Olivo chipped in with a two-run blast as Colorado took the rubber match of a three-game series at Coors Field in Denver.

Dexter Fowler contributed a pair of hits and an RBI, helping make a winner of Jorge De La Rosa (3-1), who gave up two runs and fanned six in five innings to gain the victory.

The Marlins were led by Gaby Sanchez with two RBI.

Chris Volstad (1-2) was lit up for seven runs in 4 1/3 innings as the Marlins finished a nine-game road trip with a 4-5 record.
