MIAMI, July 1 (UPI) -- Ricky Nolasco tossed seven strong innings and John Buck drove in the go-ahead run Sunday in the Miami Marlins' fourth straight win, 5-2 over Philadelphia.

Nolasco (7-6) broke a personal four-start winless streak, handling the Phillies on five hits while not issuing a walk and striking out six.

Mike Dunn and Steve Cishek combined for a scoreless eighth inning and Heath Bell racked up his 17th save with a 1-2-3 ninth for the Marlins, who completed a three-game sweep of Philadelphia.

After spotting the Phillies an early 1-0 lead, the Marlins in the second inning got Justin Ruggiano on second base with two out and Omar Infante smacked a double down the left-field line, tying the contest.

On the next pitch, Buck slammed a Joe Blanton offering off the right field fence, scoring Infante and putting Miami ahead to stay.

Giancarlo Stanton added a solo homer for the Marlins.

Blanton (7-7) absorbed the loss for the Phillies, surrendering three runs on six hits over six innings.
