Miami, FL (Best E Casino) - John Baker drove in three runs -- including a two-run home run -- to help the Florida Marlins to a 5-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies in the third installment of a four-game set.

Jeremy Hermida added two hits and a run scored while Josh Willingham had a triple, double and scored two runs to give the Marlins their third win in four games.
