Cabrera, Olsen lift Marlins past Bucs

Florida became the last team in the majors to reach double digits in wins.
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Miguel Cabrera doubled twice and Scott Olsen bounced back from his worst start of the season to strike out nine over six innings, leading the Florida Marlins past the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 Saturday night in a matchup of the NL's two worst teams.
The Marlins became the last team in the majors to reach double digits in victories, winning their 10th in 34 games and only their second in eight. The Pirates lost their major league-high 26th in 37 games despite Jose Bautista's first career home run.
The left-handed Olsen (2-2) gave up Bautista's two-run drive in the second and Craig Wilson's run-scoring triple in the sixth, but also pitched out of several jams. He got Wilson to fly out with two runners on in the third, then struck out three in a row in the sixth-- Jeromy Burnitz, Ronny Paulino and Jose Castillo -- to strand Wilson at third.
Olsen also struck out the side in the second while displaying his best control of the season, walking two. He had walked 19 in his previous five starts -- four while allowing seven runs in 32/3 innings in a 9-1 loss to St. Louis on Sunday.
He did not have more strikeouts than walks in any of his previous five starts.
Bullpen strong
Matt Herges and Logan Kensing pitched a scoreless relief inning apiece before Joe Borowski finished up in the ninth for his fifth save in as many opportunities. Kensing struck out Paulino to end the eighth with two runners on.
Pirates starter Zach Duke (2-3) gave up eight hits and four runs in six innings while dropping his second in a row since shutting out the Cubs 8-0 on May 2.
He has allowed 16 hits and nine runs in 12 innings in the two losses, including a 5-4 defeat to Washington on Sunday.
Hanley Ramirez singled twice, giving him five hits in two games, and drove in a run in the third. Cabrera doubled and scored on Wes Helms' sacrifice fly in the fourth that chased center fielder Nate McLouth to within a step of the wall.
Cabrera doubled again following singles by Ramirez and Dan Uggla in the sixth, and the Marlins scored the go-ahead run that inning on Helms' double play grounder.
