LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) _ Alex Gonzalez, Cliff Floyd and Rich Berg homered as the Florida Marlins beat the Detroit Tigers 7-2 Friday.

Jason Grilli (2-0), son of former Tigers middle reliever Steve Grilli, held the Tigers to one run on six hits over 4 1-3 innings. Grilli struck out four and has 10 in 11 1-3 innings this spring.

``I thought Grilli threw good,'' Detroit manager Phil Garner said. ``You have to give him credit. He got in a groove there and he was really tough. He looks good. He's got a nice finish on his ball.''

Dave Mlicki (2-1), making his fifth start for Detroit, gave up five runs on eight hits in five innings. It was the first rough outing for Mlicki, who had allowed only three runs over his first 14 innings of the spring.

Bobby Higginson, who went into the game struggling with a .200 average, went 2-for-3 with an RBI double in the first for the Tigers. Jose Macias drove in Detroit's other run with a single in the seventh.

Ramon Castro had a two-run double, giving the Marlins a 2-1 lead in the second. Mike Lowell, Preston Wilson and Lyle Mouton also doubled in Florida's 13-hit attack.

Notes: The Tigers released nonroster catcher Scott Servais on Friday, reducing the number of players in camp to 31. Servais, who signed with Detroit as a minor league free agent on Jan. 15, split the 2000 season between Colorado and San Francisco with a minor league stop at Triple-A Colorado Springs. He hit .294 with one RBI in 17 at-bats this spring for Detroit.
