GAME LOG
MIAMI (AP) – Matt Clement allowed four hits in eight innings in his first start for Florida and the Marlins tied a club record with four home runs Sunday in a 6-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Clement, obtained last month in a trade with San Diego, had eight strikeouts as the Marlins took two of three from the defending NL East champions. Cliff Floyd, Luis Castillo, Mike Redmond and Dave Berg gave Florida its first four-homer game since June 24 against the Cubs. In the nine years of the franchise, the Marlins have hit four home runs in a game 17 times. Atlanta's Tom Glavine (0-1) five runs, six hits and three homers in five innings. In the first, Floyd hit a 408-foot homer into the center field stands, giving him three homers on the season and at least one RBI in all six games. The Marlins went up 2-0 in the third on Castillo's home run, just the fifth of his career. Florida broke the game open with three runs in the fifth on Redmond's solo homer and a two-run double by Preston Wilson. Berg hit a solo homer in the sixth off Joe Slusarski. Floyd also made a big play in the field, throwing Javy Lopez out at third after making a diving back-handed stab on Rico Brogna's line-drive single. Brian Jordan homered for Atlanta in the seventh.
