MIAMI -- On the verge of a second successive series sweep, the Cincinnati Reds encountered a ninth-inning blip. First Mat Latos gave up a triple, ending his bid for a complete game. Then closer Aroldis Chapman gave up another triple, sending the game into extra innings. But the Reds bounced back in the 10th, scoring three times to complete their second three-game sweep in a row by beating the Miami Marlins 5-3 Thursday night. NL RBI leader Brandon Phillips homered in the sixth inning and drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the 10th. "We wanted to win the game in nine," Phillips said. "We could have just put our heads down, but we went with the flow." Latos and two relievers combined on a six-hitter. After Chapman (3-1) blew a save for the first time in nine chances, J.J. Hoover gave up a run in the 10th but earned his third save. Pinch-hitter Donald Lutz led off the 10th with a single against Steve Cishek (1-4). Following a walk, a bunt and an intentional walk, Phillips lifted a flyball for his second RBI of the night and 36th of the season. Jay Bruce followed with a two-run double and finished with three RBIs. The Marlins trailed 2-1 when Adeiny Hechavarria tripled with one out in the ninth, ending Latos night. "I really wanted to finish it," Latos said. "But we got a W, and thats all that matters." Chapman came on to strike out pinch-hitter Placido Polanco on a 100 mph fastball, but rookie Marcell Ozuna connected with a 98 mph fastball for an RBI triple. Chapman then struck out pinch-hitter Justin Ruggiano to send the game into extra innings. "We thought we were out of it. Then they tied the game up," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "Youve got to come back and keep fighting. You have no choice." Juan Pierre led off Miamis first with his first homer since June 23. Latos dominated after that, throwing only 91 pitches in 8 1-3 innings. The right-handers streak of wins in four consecutive starts ended even though he allowed just four hits and two runs. "Latos was dealing," Baker said. "Thats as pitch-efficient as Ive seen anybody." The young Marlins, who have the NLs worst record, lost their fifth consecutive game and were swept for the fourth time this year. They rank last in the majors in runs and totalled five in the series. "I was trying to throw the ball right down the middle," Latos said. "Its a big ballpark, and I tried to let those guys get themselves out. A lot of them swing early and often." Miami rookie Jose Fernandez allowed two runs in seven innings and threw a career-high 99 pitches. The Marlins have scored 23 runs in his eight starts. The Reds swept a series in Miami for the first time since 2004. Theyve won a season-best six in a row to climb nine games above .500 for the first time. Latos preserved a 2-1 lead when he pitched out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the seventh. Jeff Mathis, playing in his first game this year after coming off the disabled list, bounced into a 5-2-3 double play. "Im happy with the way we battled," manager Mike Redmond said. "We used almost all our guys, we bunted, we tried everything to score some runs and still we came up short." The game was the finale this season between the two teams. Cincinnati went 6-1 against the Marlins, outscoring them 40-16. The Marlins fell to 0-11 with the retractable roof open in their ballpark. Theyre 5-3 with the roof closed. Pierre began the game with a slugging percentage of .278, but he needed only one swing in the first to put Miami ahead. He let out a whoop when his homer barely cleared the fence just inside the right field foul pole. "Juan Pierre hit a home run off me -- just my luck," Latos said. "I looked at him when he was running the bases and said, What the heck happened?" Pierre also robbed the Reds of two extra-base hits in left field. He made a diving catch of Joey Vottos drive to the warning track in the first, and made a diving, backhanded grab of Todd Fraziers fly in the sixth. Cincinnati made it 1-all in the fourth when Bruces two-out single scored Votto, who had doubled. Phillips sent a 95-mph fastball over the fence with two out in the sixth to put the Reds up 2-1.

Trainer Peter Roche has designed Transfer Allowances spring campaign with the Pakenham Cup the goal.After Transfer Allowance was placed in Octobers Moe Cup, Roche set his sights on Sandowns Zipping Classic (2400m) and Saturdays Pakenham Cup which is 100 metres longer.Unfortunately the Zipping Classic was a stronger race than Roche anticipated, but hes expecting a good showing from Transfer Allowance at Pakenham.In past years the Zipping has dropped off a bit and we thought wed go to the Zipping and then this race, Roche said.But the Zipping turned out to be a different affair and there was a bit of class there which was a bit of a shock to our system.Well now go to the Pakenham Cup and we expect a good run from him and hopefully hell get the chocolates.Transfer Allowance was beaten 7-1/2 lengths when sixth in the Group Two weight-for-age Zipping Classic won by Beautiful Romance on November 12.In a leisurely run affair, Chris Symons, who again has the ride on Saturday, put some spark into the race when he made a run from the 1000m mark.We took off, under my instruction, early, Roche said.Were used to giving them a pretty big start but at that stage at the 1000 metres we werre right on their hammer.ddddddddddddMaybe if we had waited it could have been a little different.We cant say we would have won but we may have finished closer.Transfer Allowance got his name when Roches daughter Monique was given an allowance to take up a position with BHP in Singapore.She asked her father to buy a horse and he picked up Transfer Allowance for $15,000.After 43 starts, which have netted six wins, the gelding has returned more than $158,000 prize money.Retired teachers, Roche and wife Wendy have another couple of horses waiting in the wings when Transfer Allowance takes a well earned break after Saturdays race.We dont play golf or tennis, we just potter around with horses and the horses all pay their expenses, Roche said.Transfer Allowance was taken from Roches Yarragon property in rural Victoria to the Pakenham racecourse on Monday for a gallop that pleased his trainer.Hes in good order, so its all go, Roche said.Transfer Allowance is a $35 outsider with last-start Ballarat Cup winner Pilote Dessai heading the betting at $3.80.
