SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Marcell Ozuna homered off Madison Bumgarner in a three-run fourth inning and the Miami Marlins beat the San Francisco Giants 6-2 on Saturday night.
Jeff Baker and Adeiny Hechavarria added RBI doubles in the fourth and Donovan Solano hit a two-run double in the eighth to help the Marlins win for the 12th time in their past 17 games in San Francisco.
David Phelps (2-0) allowed one run and six hits in six innings during another strong start in place of the injured Henderson Alvarez. Phelps has two wins and a 1.80 ERA in five starts since joining the rotation.
 
Ozuna's homer leads Marlins past Bumgarner, Giants 6-2
 
Bumgarner (3-2) pitched well other than the one big inning. He struck out a season-high 10 in five innings, including slugger Giancarlo Stanton three times. But the World Series MVP also allowed four extra-base hits, including three in the fourth.
Bumgarner got a break in the third when Martin Prado's two-out double down the left-field line was touched by a fan, preventing Christian Yelich from scoring from first on the play.
But he got no such help the next inning. Ozuna started it with his second home run of the series. A walk and the doubles by Baker and Hechavarria gave Miami a 3-0 lead.
Bumgarner struck out four of five batters after Hechavarria's double, but his night was over after 99 pitches. This marked the first time Bumgarner has lost a game when he had at least 10 strikeouts. He had 17 wins and the Giants won his two no-decisions in his previous 19 double-digit strikeout games.
Phelps wasn't nearly as dominating but was more effective for Miami. He allowed just a pair of infield hits in the first four innings and then avoided the big inning in the fifth after Justin Maxwell led off with a double and scored on Brandon Crawford's single.
Crawford was then caught stealing and Phelps got Joe Panik to ground out with two on to end the inning.
