Marlins 7, Braves 4
MIAMI -- Jeff Conine hit a two-run homer and Luis Castillo matched a career high with four hits to help Florida beat Atlanta for the first time in five tries this season.
Brad Penny (2-1) allowed two runs in six innings and tied Ryan Dempster's franchise record of 42 victories.
Conine's first homer of the year came off Mike Hampton (0-2), who found himself behind 4-0 after facing six batters. Mike Lowell singled home Florida's first run, and a hustling Castillo scored from third on a foulout to second baseman Marcus Giles down the right-field line before Conine homered.
The Marlins added three runs in the seventh with five consecutive singles. Wil Cordero drove in one run, another scored on a passed ball by Johnny Estrada, and Antonio Alfonseca's wild pitch made it 7-3.
With a crowd of 41,226, the Marlins topped 40,000 for the third time in eight home games this season. Under the terms of a doughnut chain's season-long promotion, ticket-holders are entitled to a dozen free doughnuts for the first time because the Marlins totaled at least 12 hits.
They finished with 13.
Castillo had a hit in his first four at-bats, all against Hampton. Castillo, who came into the game in a 1-for-15 slump, improved his lifetime average against Hampton to .424 (14-for-33).
Cordero went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, hiking his average from .100 to .174.
Armando Benitez, who began the weekend tied for the major league lead in saves, worked the ninth to improve to 9-for-9.
Andruw Jones hit his fourth homer for Atlanta, but also grounded into an inning-ending double play to kill a rally in the seventh when the Braves trailed 4-3. Rafael Furcal hit into a double play with two on to end the eighth.
