BOSTON (AP)—Dan Uggla(notes) and Ronny Paulino(notes) homered in the second inning, and Ricky Nolasco(notes) pitched five solid innings Thursday night before the game was called early in the sixth because of rain, giving the Florida Marlins a 2-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
Nolasco (3-6) limited Boston to Kevin Youkilis’(notes) homer in the first, striking out five for his first victory in five starts since May 8. The only other Red Sox batter to reach was when David Ortiz(notes) hit a high popup that third baseman Emilio Bonifacio(notes) dropped for an error when he collided with Uggla behind second base.
The Marlins avoided a sweep in the interleague series after being outscored 14-3 in the first two games.
One night after the Red Sox celebrated their 500th consecutive sellout at Fenway Park, rain kept thousands of ticketholders away—though it was still a sellout—and sent many more scurrying for cover when a steady drizzle turned into a downpour. Jon Lester(notes) (5-6) had a 2-2 count on Uggla in the sixth when plate umpire Scott Barry called for the tarp at 8:59 p.m.
