| as impressed that Molina apparently avoided serious injury after being taken off the field on a body board with a brace around his neck, and that Molina held onto the ball for an important ninth-inning out in Sunday's 7-6, 10-inning victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. ``You don't see the runner. You don't know when you're going to get hit,'' LaRue said. ``He did an unbelievable job. In my opinion, he's the best catcher in the game right now. ``For a guy like that to put his body on the line, especially in a |

| (Best E Casino) - The heavy-hitting bats of the Philadelphia Phillies aren't going to get outworked too often this year. Yet, in a recent series with the National League East-rival Florida Marlins, that is just what happened. Only one team in the majors has gone deep more times than the Phillies this year and that club is the Marlins, who have 101 homers heading into play on Friday to Philadelphia's 95. The two division rivals met in Florida for a three-game set beginning on Tuesday, and the Phils left town having |

Tampa sits 10 games above .500 at 38-28, 2 1/2 games back of the front-running Boston Red Sox in the AL East, while the Marlins, at 36-30, are just three back of the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East, thanks in part to taking two of three from their division rivals. Florida, though, was denied a sweep in its series with the Phillies on Thursday, as Jamie Moyer baffled them over eight scoreless innings of a 3-0 Philadelphia win. Sc |

MIAMI (AP) -Dan Uggla knows where his first game-ending home run ball is going: He's starting a personal trophy case. The Florida Marlins second baseman hit a one-out grand slam into the left-field seats Wednesday night to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2. The ball was given to him after the game by Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, and Uggla walked out of the ballpark holding it in his left hand. Needing a place to store the souvenir, Uggla decided it's time for an official home to his personal memorabilia. ` |

Tonight, Moyer will put his unblemished record on the line in the finale of a three-game series at Dolphin Stadium. Moyer kept his streak against the Marlins intact on June 1 of this season, when he hurled seven subpar innings in a 7-5 victory at Citizens Bank Park.

With one powerful crack of the bat, Dan Uggla sent the Florida Marlins to a second straight win over the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies. A much different cracking sound could mean six weeks of lean times for the Chicago Cubs. Uggla hit a game-ending grand slam with one out in the ninth inning, after Jorge Cantu had hit a pair of homers, and Florida beat Philadelphia 6-2 on Wednesday night. It was the first game-ending home run in Uggla's career, and the second such slam in Marlins history: Bobby Boni |
