MIAMI — Jack McKeon earned his first victory since coming out of retirement as the Marlins broke an 11-game losing streak by beating the Angels 5-2 on Tuesday night.
Javier Vazquez and five relievers gave up 13 hits and Los Angeles had at least one hit in every inning but went 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position.
Gaby Sanchez homered and Hanley Ramirez had his first multi-hit game since May 21 for the Marlins, who are 2-19 in June. They are 1-1 since McKeon took over Monday as interim manager for the rest of the season.
For a change, the breaks went the Marlins' way. They had three infield hits while the Angels hit into two double plays, including one when reliever Edward Mujica snared Torii Hunter's liner then doubled a runner off second.
Ramirez, inserted into the cleanup spot for the first time in his career by McKeon, went 2-for-4 to hike his average to .206 and scored twice.
