MIAMI—Dan Uggla hit two home runs, Mark Hendrickson pitched seven effective innings and the Florida Marlins beat the San Diego Padres 6-4 on Friday night.

Uggla's second homer, a three-run shot off Justin Germano that traveled over the left-field scoreboard, was followed by a homer from Luis Gonzalez. It was the third time the Marlins hit back-to-back home runs this season.

Hendrickson (5-1) allowed three runs and five hits for the Marlins, who ended a three-game losing streak.

Khalil Greene hit a two-run homer for San Diego, which has lost 13 of 16 and four of its last five games.

Taylor Tankersley pitched a scoreless eighth and Kevin Gregg allowed a run in the ninth before finishing for his fifth save in six opportunities.

Germano (0-3) gave up five earned runs and nine hits over 5 2-3 innings. He hasn't won since August 28, 2007, against Arizona, a span of 11 appearances (eight starts).

Jeremy Hermida had an RBI single in the first and Uggla went deep in the second to give the Marlins a 2-0 lead.

San Diego cut it to 2-1 in the fourth. Brian Giles led off with a single, advanced to third on consecutive groundouts and scored on Kevin Kouzmanoff's single.
