MLB: Miami 7, Colorado 4

MIAMI, May 21 (UPI) -- Giancarlo Stanton belted his second grand slam of the season Monday, rallying the Miami Marlins to a 7-4 comeback victory over Colorado.

The Rockies grabbed a quick 4-0 lead in the first inning on Michael Cuddyer's two-run double and a two-run homer from Troy Tulowitzki.

But the Marlins chipped away with a tally in the third and then followed with a big five-run inning in the fourth to take control of the game.

Pitcher Mark Buehrle doubled with one out and came home on a Jose Reyes single, slicing Colorado's lead to 4-2.

Rockies starter Jamie Moyer (2-4) then issued walks to Hanley Ramirez and Austin Kearns (4-for-4, two RBI) before Stanton yanked a 3-2 pitch off the scoreboard in left field for a bases-loaded shot.

He also socked a game-winning grand slam last week against the New York Mets.

Buehrle (4-4) earned the win despite yielding four runs on five hits over 7 2/3 innings.
