MIAMI -- One pitch from being pulled, and one strike from victory, Homer Bailey unleashed a 97 mph fastball to finish off the Marlins. With his 125th pitch -- a career high -- Bailey completed a six-hitter and helped the Cincinnati Reds extend their winning streak to four games by beating Miami 6-2 Tuesday night. Bailey went to a full count on the final batter, Greg Dobbs, and wouldnt have faced another, manager Dusty Baker said. "We were counting pitches in the ninth inning," Baker said. "We were like, Come on, Homer. Quit fouling them off, Dobbs." Dobbs finally lined out weakly, and Bailey earned his first victory since April 5. The Reds climbed a season-best seven games above .500 as they began a nine-game trip. The Marlins, who have the NLs worst record, lost their third game in a row and fell to 5-12 at home. Bailey (2-3) tied a career high with 10 strikeouts and walked none in his fourth complete game. He was glad to give the Reds relievers a break. "Theyve been griping at me," he said. "The last couple of games I only went five or six. Its about time I gave them a day off." The right-hander has endured spotty run support this season, but the Reds scored five times in the second inning to go ahead 6-1. "With that kind of lead I was just trying to be really aggressive," Bailey said. He retired his final eight batters and allowed only four hits over the final 8 2-3 innings. "He worked with tremendous control," Miamis Adeiny Hechavarria said. "He located the pitches where he wanted and fooled us several times." A brief, uncharacteristic bout of wildness proved costly for Ricky Nolasco (2-5), who gave up six runs in five innings. He hit a batter with a pitch and walked two -- both with the bases loaded. Xavier Paul hit a three-run double for the Reds. Brandon Phillips, who began the night tied for the NL lead in RBIs, drove in two runs. Joey Votto drove in a run and had three hits to hike his average to .322. Ryan Hanigan added two hits to raise his average to .149. Miami batted rookies Derek Dietrich and Marcell Ozuna third and fourth, but the strategy failed to jump-start an offence ranked last in the majors in runs, batting average and homers. The Marlins have totalled three runs in Nolascos past three starts. Manager Mike Redmond blamed the feeble attack for Nolascos costly bases on balls. "It kind of stems from our offence, with him going out there he knows he cant give up much," Redmond said. "Hes trying to be perfect; he ends up walking a couple of guys." Cincinnati broke the game open in the second inning, when they scored five times with two outs. Nolasco hit Shin-Soo Choo with a pitch and, after the Reds loaded the bases, walked Votto and Phillips to force in runs. Nolasco then grooved a 3-1 pitch to Paul, who hit a three-run double. "One out away -- frustrating," Nolasco said. "Ive been doing a good job of staying away from that big crooked inning all year but it got me today." A five-run lead was plenty for Bailey. "Homer to me has turned into one of those guys where you could maybe consider him the ace of your staff," Votto said. "He has consistently gotten better over his career, and its really impressive to see him improve and grow."

Pernice birdied the final two holes Sunday for a one-stroke victory over Jeff Sluman and Corey Pavin. He finished with a 4-under 68 and had a 17-under 199 total at the TPC Twin Cities for his second career Champions Tour victory. Trailing Sluman by one shot at the par-3 17th, Pernice played it safe with his tee shot to the middle of the green. He then made about a 40-foot slightly downhill putt to move into a tie. "That really set everything up. It gave me a chance to make birdie on the last to win, which is a lot better than having to make birdie to get into a playoff," said Pernice, who also made a similar distance putt on Saturday to salvage bogey on No. 14. At the par-5 18th, Pernice hit his second shot from 200 yards to 8 feet and two-putted for the winning birdie. It was his first win in 51 events dating to the 2009 SAS Championship, his first event as a member of the Champions Tour. "Im just thrilled to be able to finally get the victory. Its been a long, long spell," he said. Pernice also has two PGA Tour victories. Sluman closed with a 62, and Pavin had a 66. Seeing what Sluman was shooting, Pernice stayed calm throughout the round. He had birdies on Nos. 3 and 4, and after a bogey on No. 9, made a birdie at No. 12 to get to 15 under. "I just tried to tell myself to stay patient, stay relaxed and give yourself plenty of opportunities, and I did," Pernice said. "I hit a few poor drives from time to time, but my iron shots were good, and gave myself a lot of putting opportunities. I didnt really make any until the 12th hole. ... It all worked out for the best for me and I feel fortunate enough to escape with a victory." Sluman, who began the day seven shots behind Pernice, birdied his first seven holes to get to 13 under. It is the first time since 2002, a tour player began his round with seven straight birdies. After a par at the par-3 eighth hole, Sluman birdied the par-4 ninth hole to establish a nine-hole tournament record of 28. "Any of us iis capable of doing that," he said.dddddddddddd "When its happening to you, you just kind of go along with the flow and hit your shots. Its something that doesnt happen very, very often." Sluman, who won the Liberty Mutual Insurance Legends of Golf this year with partner Brad Faxon, birdied No. 10 and parred three straight holes before a birdie on the par-4 14th put him alone in front at 16 under. He then failed to break par over the final four holes -- missing a less than 10-foot birdie putt on the last hole. "I played well coming in, but not getting birdie on either of the par 5s on the back nine obviously kind of hurt," he said. "All in all, Im very pleased with the day." Slumans score was one shot higher than the tournament record set three years ago by David Frost, and he was hoping to repeat what happened on the final day of last years event when Bernhard Langer shot a 62 to come from six back to win. Langer skipped this years tournament to play in a European Senior Tour event in Germany. Starting the day three strokes behind Pernice, Pavin was 3 under on the front nine and matched that on the back nine, including birdies on two of his final three holes. He made a long par putt on the other. "I felt comfortable out there and maybe I needed a few more holes, but Tom birdied the last two. Hats off to him," Pavin said. Pavin hasnt finished worse than 19th in his last seven starts, including third-place finishes at the last two tour majors: the U.S. Senior Open and the Senior British Open. Jay Haas, Bart Bryant and Rod Spittle tied for fourth at 14 under. Haas shot 65, Bryant 67 and Spittle 68. Kenny Perry, coming off consecutive major victories in the Senior Players Championship and U.S. Senior Open, was two shots behind coming to the final hole, but his second shot went into the water and he finished with a 67. He was 13 under along with Colin Montgomerie, Craig Stadler and Kirk Triplett. Tom Kite started the day two shots back and was hoping to become the oldest winner on 50-and-over tour history. The 63-year-old shot an even-par 72 and was one of five players to finish six shots back. ' ' '
