PHILADELPHIA -- Domonic Browns misplay ruined another strong outing by A.J. Burnett. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-run double, Henderson Alvarez threw 6 2-3 sharp innings and the Miami Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Wednesday night. Burnett (5-7) gave up three runs and five hits, striking out eight in seven innings. Brown cost Burnett three runs in the fourth inning when he failed to make a routine catch. The Marlins had runners on first and second with two outs when Marcell Ozuna hit a liner to left that should have ended the inning. But Brown froze on the ball instead of taking a step back and it sailed over his head for an RBI double. "That play has to be made," Brown said. "I told A.J. I was sorry about it. It was a hard-hit line drive. I made a break on it in and that definitely was a big mistake. Im definitely upset at myself." Saltalamacchia followed with a two-run double to left-centre to make it 3-0. He was 1 for 15 with nine strikeouts off Burnett before the hit. "I felt like I should have picked him up the next at-bat," Burnett said. "Thats what we do. You pick each other up. The pitch is a little bit lower to Salty, then you pick him up. He plays hard. He comes in every day and prepares and he goes about his business. Its not like hes trying to miss balls out there." Brown, an All-Star last year when he led the Phillies with 27 homers, has played shaky defence. He is hitting just .217 with five homers. "Well Domonic is our left fielder as we speak, capable of swinging the bat," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Every time he goes up there I have confidence that it might be the time where he pops one and drives in two, three runs." Alvarez (5-3) allowed two runs -- one earned -- and seven hits. He is 3-0 with a 0.78 ERA in his last seven starts. The Marlins have won two of the first three in the four-game set. They had lost eight of their previous nine games in Philadelphia before this series. Steve Cishek struck out the side in the ninth for his 18th save in 19 tries. The Phillies are 1-4 since a season-high five-game winning streak that included a three-game sweep at Atlanta and two wins in St. Louis. They are just 17-23 at home. Miami improved to .500 at 39-39 and trails NL East-leading Washington by only 2 1/2 games. The Phillies scored an unearned run in the fifth to cut it to 3-1. Ben Revere reached on second baseman Derek Dietrichs throwing error and scored on Chase Utleys sacrifice fly to deep centre. Browns RBI single in the sixth got them within 3-2. Marlon Byrd started the inning with his third hit and advanced on a groundout before scoring on Browns liner to right-centre. Burnett began his career with the Marlins, going 49-50 in seven seasons. He is 2-2 with a 2.59 ERA in his last four starts after going 1-4 with a 7.25 ERA in his previous six. Alvarez pitched out of a jam in the second. He struck out Brown with one out and runners on first and third. He then retired Burnett on a bouncer to third to leave the bases loaded.

Baltimore Ravens In 2014, the 8-8 season that the Baltimore Ravens experienced was to be expected. RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes finally seem to have figured things out. Even if once again, its almost certainly too late to earn a playoff berth. John-Michael Liles had a goal and two assists in Carolinas 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars on Thursday night. Liles, Eric Staal and Justin Faulk each scored during a run of three goals in a 4:36 span of the second period. "Its a matter of all getting on the same page," Liles said, "and I think tonight we were all pretty well on the same page." Riley Nash added a key late goal and Chris Terry had his first two NHL assists to help the Hurricanes win their second straight game and earn points in their fifth straight. Even so, the Hurricanes remain a long shot to make the playoffs for just the second time since they won the 2006 Stanley Cup. They entered with 77 points, six behind Columbus, and with five games left, they still need a lot of help. "Its just a matter of knowing whats successful for us, and when you have success, you can point your finger at, hey, this is why we won that game," Liles said. "Try and repeat it for the following game, and try and get on a roll. For us, its a matter of believing in that system and that reason why weve been winning games, and weve been coming out on the right end of it." Carolina has the leagues second-worst power play but scored twice with the man advantage. "You take a couple penalties, they score back to back on power plays and anytime that happens, its not a good thing," defenceman Alex Goligoski said. "We got behind the 8-ball there, got a push at the end of the second, but when you get down 3-0, its tough." Anton Khudobin made 33 saves in Carolinas first win over the Stars since 2009. "I had a couple saves, and we just started playing (well) and got the result," Khudobin said. Tyler Seguin scored for Dallas, which entered occupying the Western Conferences last wild-card spot but had its three-game winning streak snapped. The Stars were coming off a 5-0 pounding of Washington and had won five of six. Kari Lehtonen made 13 saves buut was pulled after allowing three goals.dddddddddddd Tim Thomas took over and finished with 15 stops. Seguin pulled the Stars to 3-1 by beating Khudobin high to his glove side at 9:44 of the second. But Khudobin made the save of the night roughly 30 seconds into the third when he slid across the net to stop Alex Chiasson. "We could have been right back in the game," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said. "We didnt finish." Nash then restored the Hurricanes three-goal lead when he blasted a rebound past Thomas with 12:20 left. Carolina skated in this one without forwards Alexander Semin, who was out with an illness, and Jiri Tlusty, who has an upper-body injury. And their offensive flurry started with a fluke. Liles -- who had his first three-point night since 2011 -- fired a shot that richocheted off Staals left skate, popped high into the air and fluttered behind Lehtonen at 2:30 of the second. That gave the Carolina captain goals in consecutive games but just his third since March 1. "We always say, Shoot the puck," Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. "This time of year, it doesnt have to be highlight goals. Just get it there and you never know whats going to happen." There wasnt anything cheap about the Hurricanes second goal: Faulk took a feed from Liles behind the left circle and blistered the puck past Lehtonen at 4:08. Liles capped his first multi-point game since coming to Carolina in a New Years Day trade with Toronto by beating Lehtonen with a quick wrist shot from the left circle to make it 3-0 at 7:05. "I wouldnt say that Ive been playing bad hockey -- I think that Ive been contributing," Liles said. "Maybe the points arent there. ... You play in the league long enough, its going to happen." NOTES: Seguin has points in seven of his last eight road games. ... The Hurricanes recalled Zach Boychuk from their AHL affiliate in Charlotte to help replace Semin and Tlusty. ... D Andrej Sekera (lower body) was a late scratch for Carolina. ... Dallas LW Ray Whitney suffered a lower-body injury in the first period and did not return.
