MIAMI--Logan Morrison and the Florida Marlins went the extra mile up to snap an eight game losing streak.

Morrison and Mike Stanton each hit a two run Homer and seven extra base hits in a 6-4 had the Marlins-victory over the Arizona of Diamondbacks on Friday night.

John Bock also homered and drove in two runs for the Marlins, who finished with 13 goals as a whole. Emilio Bonifacio had two double rooms.

It was Florida's first win since a 5-2 victory in Arizona on 31 May.

"Many things are long, if the offense is struggling and you are part of the offense," said Morrison. "Whether it is the games themselves, the dry spell, the lack of drive in runs." All that seems long. "It is finally good, a little break."

Florida's 13 hits were his highest total since it had a season high-14 against the Dodgers on the 28.

"I think, they are out there more relaxed," said Marlins Manager Edwin Rodriguez. "There were still many runners in scoring position." "Gradually I will use this evening game."

Miguel Montero and Xavier Nady hit-to-back homers for the Diamondbacks, the four of the five lost.

"It is frustrating," Montero said. "We hit the ball very well."

Morrison joined against Joe Saunders in the first inning, hitting the car to the right on a 2-2 pitch for his eighth Homer of the season.

Stanton's 15th Homer in the sixth inning made it 4-0 and buck hit Saunders next pitch over the wall in right. It was the second time this season that have made the Marlins o Homer's.

Anibal Sanchez (6-1) allowed three runs and five hits in 6 2/3 innings for the Marlins. The right-hander is 5-0 with a 2.31 ERA in his last seven starts.

Sanchez said today, "A big profit". "It was something special for the team." I know we needed to cut the dry spell. It is a new step for the team. "We need to continue to win."

Arizona Sanchez chased during the four seventh inning. Stephen drew raised in Justin Upton before Montero went deep. Mike Dunn then came and allowed a Homer to this Nady, cut at 5-4.

"Some people probably think I'm crazy, but I think that we there with our bats," said Diamondbacks Manager Kirk Gibson.

Buck added an RBI single in the bottom worked the Marlins an insurance run half get, and Steve Cishek the ninth store, take advantage of two good defensive plays for his first career.

"I was a fastball well, until I in the Middle, links, and then a slider that burned was down middle and that has been crushed,", Cishek said. "Fortunately, we have awesome Defender behind us and I believe that a third save when saving my should go after the Bonifacio and Stanton."

Saunders (3-6) was five runs and 10 hits in six innings.

"He committed some errors, she beat him, it will happen from time to time" Gibson said.
