National League Game Summary - Milwaukee at Florida

Final Score: Milwaukee 2 - Florida 7

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Matt Treanor went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer, and Jorge Cantu finished with a two-run shot, as the Florida Marlins beat Milwaukee, 7-2, to sweep a three-game series with the Brewers.

Luis Gonzalez went 3-for-3, and Hanley Ramirez had two hits and an RBI for the Marlins, who outscored the Brewers 16-4 in the set.

"Ever since I've been called up to the big leagues, I've always said that when I get a chance to get in there and play I'll do what I can to help the team win," Treanor said. "It felt good. Popped one out. Don't do that too often so it feels good."

Starter Mark Hendrickson gave up one run on seven hits, but lasted just 4 1/3 innings. Logan Kensing (1-0) followed him with 2 2/3 frames of scoreless relief.

"I don't know if I want to put my body through that again just because of the amount of pitches in a short period of time," said Hendrickson. "That's a lot of work. Personally I didn't get the win (but) the fact that we won the game, that's the ultimate goal."

Carlos Villanueva (1-4) took the loss after allowing seven runs on 10 hits in five innings, though he struck out six and tallied two hits.

"He (Carlos Villanueva) battled today," Brewers catcher Mike Rivera said. "He got early outs in a few situations but fell behind, (then made) a few good pitches, then the home run (to Matt Treanor). It was supposed to be a slider but he left it out over the plate."

Joe Dillon and J.J. Hardy each collected two hits for Milwaukee, which has lost six in a row.

Florida jumped out to a lead in the first inning, after Ramirez reached on a two-out single. Cantu followed by crushing the ball over the left-field fence. The Marlins then added another run in the third, when Ramirez followed Jeremy Hermida's lead-off double with a single, for a 3-0 lead.

The Brewers got one run back in the following frame, on Villanueva's RBI single that plated Mike Rivera.

But the Marlins put the game away in the fifth with another two-out rally. Dan Uggla walked, and Gonzalez followed with a single. Wes Helms drove in one run on a single, and Villanueva remained in the game.

Treanor stepped to the plate, and battled back from two called strikes for a 2-2 count. He then smoked the ball deep down the left-field line, and it bounced off the mesh attached to the foul pole, pushing Florida's edge to 7-1.

Milwaukee scored once more, on Rivera's RBI single in the eighth, but Justin Miller pitched a scoreless ninth to close out the game.
