Ross Gload connected with a two-run homer in the eighth inning Saturday night to lift the Marlins over the Reds 3-2.
Jorge Cantu also homered for the Marlins, who scored four times in the ninth inning Friday to beat the Reds 4-3 and end a nine-game skid in Cincinnati that dated to April 2006. Florida remained four games behind wild card-leading Colorado, which beat Arizona.
Ronny Paulino started the Florida eighth with a double to left off Bronson Arroyo. Cameron Maybin struck out before Gload drove a 1-0 pitch into the right-field seats for his second pinch homer and 19th hit in that role, tying the single-season club record.
"I never grew up wanting to be a really good pinch hitter, so I don't keep track," Gload said.
