ARLINGTON, Texas, July 3 (UPI) -- Hanley Ramirez homered twice, including a first-inning grand slam, sparking the Florida Marlins to a 9-5 interleague victory over Texas Saturday.

Steve Cishek (1-1) earned the win despite allowing three runs (two earned) on a pair of hits over 2 2/3 innings of relief. He entered the game with one out in the third after Marlins starter Brad Hand allowed homers to Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton.
Texas starter Derek Holland (6-4) didn't get out of the first inning, yielding five runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning.
Hamilton ended with a pair of homers for the Rangers, going 3-for-5 with three RBI.
