Marlins eyeing sweep of Dodgers

Jul 13, 2008 - 3:00 PM Florida (49-44) at LA Dodgers (45-49), 4:10 pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Having climbed within one game of first place, the Florida Marlins look to complete a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

Dan Uggla drove in the go-ahead run with a double in the 11th inning Saturday as the Marlins extended their winning streak to four games with a 5-3 victory.

A win on Sunday will give Florida its first road sweep of the Dodgers in franchise history. Overall, the Marlins have won six of their last seven games.

Florida starts lefthander Andrew Miller (5-8, 5.09 ERA), who is hoping to snap a personal three-game losing streak.

Los Angeles counters with righthander Chad Billingsley (8-8, 3.38), who surrendered six runs - five earned - in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

The Dodgers have lost four of their last five contests.

Florida last swept Los Angeles at home from September 6-8, 1999.
