Derek Hill hit two home runs, Kyle Stowers had three hits and four RBI, to lead the Marlins over the Colorado Rockies 12-8 in the series finale, giving them a split of the four-game series. 

Hill, who also homered Wednesday, has four HR's and 15 RBI in 22 games since the Marlins claimed him off waivers from San Francisco on Aug. 3. Today was the 2nd multi-homer game of his career. 

Ali Sánchez had three hits and also stole home plate. Otto Lopez had three hits, and leadoff man Connor Norby had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 10 games for Miami, as the Marlins ripped a season-high 18 hits. 

Brendan Rodgers hit two home runs for the Rockies, and Brenton Doyle added a double and a homer for the Rockies, who remain a half game ahead of the last-place Marlins in the National League basement. 

Eight of the Rockies’ 12 hits were extra-base hits. The Marlins, who had lost five of six games entering the series, had six extra-base hits. 

----- 'LIVE' Instant Reaction from Jim GRIES Grieshaber ----- 

Rodgers has two career multi-homer games, both against Miami. He had three homers and four RBI in a 13-12 victory over the Marlins in the second game of a June 1 doubleheader in Coors Field. 

The Marlins used doubles by Sánchez and Stowers, a double steal with Sánchez scoring from third, a hit batter, an infield single and a fielding error by third baseman Ryan McMahon to score five runs off starter Bradley Blalock (1-1) for a 7-2 lead in the fourth. Stowers drove in two. 

The Rockies came back with four in their fourth, capped by Rodgers’ two-run homer off starter Valente Bellozo, who had been great in six of his seven previous starts, but not today, as Colorado ripped him for six runs on seven hits in four innings. 

Hill’s two-run homer keyed a three-run fifth for an 11-6 lead. Stowers singled in a run in the ninth. 

Jesús Tinoco (1-0) pitched 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief for the win. He's been great for Miami since they claimed him off waivers from the Cubs last month. 

The Marlins head to San Francisco to play three over the weekend against the Giants, with Austin Oller (1-1, 5.23) facing San Francisco's Blake Snell (2-3, 3.76) in the opener tomorrow night. 

First pitch is at 10:15pm ET, and we will be here 'LIVE' right after the game with your Locked On Marlins POSTCAST, hosted by Jim "GRIES" Grieshaber.
