Anderson’s First Career Grand Slam Lifts Marlins Over Brewers

MILWAUKEE (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins can’t stop scoring runs and took down the Milwaukee Brewers 8-3 on Wednesday night.

Brian Anderson noticed Jimmy Nelson was struggling with his breaking ball and he took advantage.

Anderson hit his first career grand slam, Sandy Alcántara pitched seven crisp innings and the Marlins spoiled Nelson’s return to the majors.

Starlin Castro and Bryan Holaday each drove in two runs as the surging Marlins earned their fourth straight victory. Curtis Granderson had two hits and scored twice in his first multihit game since May 24.

Nelson lasted just three innings in his first big league start in 21 months.
