MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Ichiro Suzuki had his first four-hit game in over two years, and Cole Gillespie drove in a season-high three runs to lead the Miami Marlins to a 9-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.
Suzuki was 4 for 5 with two runs scored for his first four-hit game since July 28, 2013.
Adeiny Hechavarria extended his career-high hitting streak to 12 games and relief pitcher Kendry Flores (1-1) faced one batter in the fourth in his first major league victory. With the bases loaded, A.J. Ramos got the final out in the ninth for his 20th save.
 
Suzuki's 4 hits lift Marlins past Brewers 9-6
 
Milwaukee rookie starter Tyler Cravy (0-5) lasted only 2 2-3 innings after giving up seven runs - four earned - to go with seven hits and three walks.
Jason Rogers finished with a career-high three hits for the Brewers.
Gillespie gave Miami a 3-0 lead with a triple in the first. Dee Gordon's run-scoring single in the third made it 7-0.
But Miami starter Adam Conley was unable to take advantage. The rookie, making his third start because of his team's injury-ravaged rotation, lasted just 3 2-3 innings. He allowed nine hits and four earned runs to go with seven strikeouts.
Conley allowed all four runs in the fourth and was replaced by Flores after a two-out run-scoring single by Jean Segura. With runners on first and second, Flores retired Jonathan Lucroy to maintain the three-run lead.
The Marlins added a two-run single by Martin Prado in the fifth.
David Goforth, who was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday when Michael Blazek went on the DL, replaced Cravy and gave up two earned runs in two innings.
