Oakland, CA (Best E Casino) - Dan Uggla had a three-run double in the ninth after Cody Ross tied the game with a solo home run in the eighth, as the Florida Marlins used a late rally to topple the Oakland Athletics, 6-4, in the second of a three-game interleague set.

Jorge Cantu and Wes Helms each added an RBI for the Marlins, who have won four of six. With the win, they moved a game behind Philadelphia for first place in the National League East, as the Phillies lost on Saturday to the Los Angeles Angels.

Ricky Nolasco started for Florida, went seven innings and gave up three runs on seven hits, but did not get a decision. Renyel Pinto (2-2) took the win as he pitched a perfect eighth, and Kevin Gregg got his 13th save of the year despite giving up a run and two hits in the ninth.

Eric Chavez and Kurt Suzuki each had a hit and two RBI for the A's, who have lost three of their last four contests. Dana Eveland lasted 6 1/3 innings and was touched for two runs on eight hits. Huston Street (1-2) was dealt the loss as he gave up three runs on two hits and walked a pair in the first 2/3 of the ninth.

The Marlins put together a rally in the top of the ninth against Street. Hanley Ramirez worked a one-out walk and took second, Jeremy Hermida was issued an intentional walk, and Cantu popped up in the infield for the second out. Helms hit a blooper to the right side of the infield and Mark Ellis was unable to make a play, loading the bases with two gone. Uggla cleared the table with a three-run double to left, and Florida was ahead 6-3.

"It's over," Street said. "I can't change it. I wish I could but I can't. I can't think about it. My stuff has been there. It was mislocation two days in a row and the same guy got me."

Gregg was called on to close it out for the Marlins in the ninth. But Bobby Crosby legged out an infield base hit and Jack Hannahan advanced the runner with a ground out. Suzuki belted an RBI single just beyond the reach of a diving Ramirez and Carlos Gonzalez worked a walk to put runners on first and second.

Rajai Davis then went down swinging for the second out and Ellis worked a walk to load the bases. Ryan Sweeney worked the count full, but grounded out to first to end the game.

The Marlins wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard. Ramirez led off the game with a double and, after Hermida flied out, stole third base. Cantu was then hit by a pitch and a Helms single plated Ramirez.

The A's answered right back in the home first. Consecutive singles from Ellis and Sweeney, followed by a ground out from Jack Cust, left both runners in scoring position. Chavez then belted a two-run double to left, and Oakland claimed a 2-1 lead.

Matt Treanor led off the fourth with a single, but was out as Alfredo Amezaga grounded into a force. Amezaga stole second, Ramirez walked and Hermida singled to load the bases. Cantu chipped in an RBI single and the game was tied at two.

The Marlins left eight runners on base through four innings.

Oakland took a 3-2 lead in the fourth. Crosby led off the frame with a double, moved to third on Hannahan's ground out and crossed home as Suzuki offered a sacrifice fly to center.

Ross connected on a two-out homer in the eighth and the game was knotted at three.

"We were just trying to pick it up for Rickie," Ross said. "He threw so well that we wanted to get him off the hook. I got a decent pitch to hit and I wasn't trying to do too much with it. I got it in the air and the ball carried well tonight."

Game Notes

Amezaga left the game in the fourth with an injured left groin. Robert Andino took over in center...Ross' home run in the eighth was Florida's 111th long- ball on the season, good for the major league lead...This is Florida's first- ever visit to Oakland, but the Marlins did take two of three between the clubs back in 2003 at Dolphin Stadium.
