A pair of two-run home runs in the bottom of the seventh inning by Jeff Keppinger and Brandon Phillips against Marlins reliever Taylor Tankersley snapped a 4-4 tie. Corey Patterson had four hits in the game and scored two runs as Florida's seven-game winning streak was snapped.

For Harang, it snapped a five-start winless streak and a rash of poor run support. The right-hander pitched seven innings and allowed four earned runs on seven hits with two walks and four strikeouts.

Back-to-back one-out home runs in the Marlins first inning by Jeremy Hermidia and Hanley Ramirez put Cincinnati in a 2-0 hole. The deficit became 3-0 when Dan Uggla hit a solo shot to left field with one out in the fourth.

It was a one-run game in the Cincinnati sixth when Edwin Encarnacion's double put runners on second and third. Adam Dunn's sacrifice fly scored Joey Votto and Encarnacion scored on a wild pitch by Marlins rookie starter Burke Badenhop while Harang batted.

The Marlins tied the game in the top of the seventh, but Patterson led off the bottom of the seventh with a bunt single between the mound and first base. Next up was Keppinger, who hit a 1-0 pitch into the seats for his third homer of the season. After a Ken Griffey Jr. walk, Phillips launched a 3-1 pitch 428 feet for his seventh home run of 2008.

The game nearly got away from the Reds bullpen during a three-run Florida eighth, in which nine hitters went to the plate. After one run already crossed, closer Francisco Cordero was summoned early for a four-out save. An error by Griffey allowed two runs to score, but that would be it for the Marlins.

Cordero returned for the ninth and notched his sixth save of the season.
