National League Game Summary - Arizona at Florida

Final Score: Arizona 3 - Florida 4

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Hanley Ramirez hit the game-tying solo home run in the ninth inning, and Jorge Cantu singled in Jeremy Hermida with the game- winner, handing the Florida Marlins a come-from-behind 4-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Arizona took a 3-2 lead into the ninth with closer Brandon Lyon on the mound, and Lyon struck out pinch-hitter Wes Helms for the first out. Ramirez ripped a hanging breaking ball over the fence in left, however, his 18th homer of the season, to knot the game at 3-3.

Hermida followed by slicing a ball to the opposite field, which fell on the line in left for a double. A wild pitch by Lyon allowed Hermida to advance to third, and Cantu grounded through the drawn-in infield and into left, plating Hermida for the win.

"It just makes me more hungry to keep producing and put up those big hits," Cantu said. "Everybody's swinging, everybody's hitting the ball, and man, we're just putting nice wins together. That's what matters and keeps us in the hunt."

Ramirez went 2-for-4 for the Marlins, who took two of three from the Diamondbacks despite playing the finale without star second baseman Dan Uggla, who sat with an ankle injury.

Scott Olsen gave up five hits and three runs over seven frames for a no- decision, while Joe Nelson (1-0) pitched the scoreless ninth and picked up the win for Florida, which had dropped four straight entering the three-game set with the D-backs.

Dan Haren struck out seven and walked two over seven innings, holding the Marlins to one run on five hits. Lyon (2-2) gave up three hits and two runs in one-third of an inning, taking the loss and his third blown save.

Stephen Drew hit a two-run homer for Arizona, which has dropped four of five and seven of nine.

"It's a tough one, especially going home," Lyon said. "It's a long flight out. The way we played this series we should have come out of here with at least two out of three. That's kind of the way things are going right now."

Drew's two-out, two-run blast to right in the third, his 11th, gave the D- backs the early lead.

Cody Ross' RBI double to right in the sixth cut the Arizona edge to 2-1, but Chris Burke restored the two-run lead with an RBI single in the seventh. Robert Andino, who started at second for Uggla, laced a run-scoring single to center with two outs in the eighth to make it a one-run game heading into the ninth.
