MIAMI — Marlins manager Jeff Torborg credited Danny Graves for rescuing the Reds from a dangerous situation.

        “That was pretty darn good pitching by Graves,” Torborg said after Graves escaped the 10th inning. “He made some good pitches. He did a heck of a job.”

        The Marlins had the winning run on third with no outs after a two-base error by Adam Dunn. But after Andy Fox lined out and Graves gave up two intentional walks to load the bases, Graves struck out Mike Lowell and retired Eric Owens on a lineout. Graves (2-1) pitched three innings for the win.

        “I've been pretty bad with inherited runners,” Graves said. “This game is weird. I walked those two guys intentionally and it wound up working out for us.

        “I was hoping (Lowell) would hit into a double play but I'll take the strikeout. There are times you need one and that was it.”

        “They have some good hitters and they keep battling,” said Marlins outfielder Eric Owens, who had three hits and scored two runs.
