MIAMI, July 22 (UPI) -- Emilio Bonifacio tripled and scored a run in the bottom of the ninth inning Thursday, giving the Florida Marlins a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

With the score tied at 2-2, Bonifacio led off the bottom of the ninth with a triple to center. Colorado pitcher Jhoulys Chacin (5-8) intentionally walked the next two batters to set up a force play and get to Ronny Paulino, who answered with a single that drove in Bonifacio.

Leon Nunez (4-2) picked up the victory by pitching the ninth inning, in which he struck out all three Rockies batters.

Florida took a 2-1 lead in the second and held it until the eighth inning when Jonathan Herrera doubled and scored on Jason Giambi's single.

The Marlins opened the scoring in the first with Gaby Sanchez doubling in Chris Coghlan from first. Colorado came back in the second with Ian Stewart's 13th home run of the year, but the Marlins regained the lead in the bottom of the inning when Cody Ross hit his eighth homer of the year.
