"Instead of looking pleased after Sunday's win over the Dodgers, the Marlins Get your Marlins Tickets now! had the demeanor of someone who had just walked away from a bad car wreck grateful to be alive.

The Marlins committed two errors that allowed two unearned runs, struck out 13 times and were out-hit 11-5 but still managed to escape with a 6-5 win and improve to 4-2.

"It was ugly, obviously," said right fielder Cody Ross, who had one of the errors. "We can't keep playing like this. It is not going to be good in the long run."

The Marlins have 10 errors in six games, most in the National League, and in three of their four wins needed late-inning rallies to overcome the miscues and a shaky bullpen, including a scoring three runs in the ninth Saturday and getting the go-ahead run in the seventh Sunday.

The key to the back-to-back Houdini acts at Sun Life Stadium was Jorge Cantu.

Cantu had the winning sacrifice fly in Saturday's 7-6 win, and followed that by tying a career high with five RBI Sunday, blasting a three-run home run in the fourth and driving in two more with a double in the seventh."
