MIAMI -- Junior Lake made some enemies in the Miami Marlins' dugout on Wednesday night.

And the Chicago Cubs right fielder didn't do right by his manager, either.

Giancarlo Stanton and Jeff Baker hit back-to-back homers as Miami defeated Chicago 7-3 at Marlins Park, but it was Lake's theatrical reaction to his two-run homer in the sixth inning that started a benches-clearing confrontation.

"That guy has hit like 10 home runs in his career and his team is trailing 6-0," said Miami starter Dan Haren, who was among the many Marlins who took exception to Lake's act. "I think if you ask his team, they would be embarrassed (by the display). It was disrespectful.

"I don't know if it was his first home run of the year or second (it was his first). Congratulations to him. I've given up about 500 home runs in my career ... big deal."

The fireworks actually started in the fifth when the Marlins hit three straight balls in a span of six pitches either over the fence in left or off the wall in right.

Stanton, Miami's right fielder, hit his 17th homer of the season. Baker, the first baseman, followed with his second homer and center fielder Marcell Ozuna doubled off the fence in right.

Ozuna was stranded, but the Marlins took a 6-0 lead into the sixth. That's when Lake drilled his homer to left, sparking the hostilities by staying at home plate for a few seconds to admire his work.

As Lake rounded third, he looked toward the Marlins dugout and gestured for them to "shush." That infuriated Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez, who is on the disabled list because of elbow surgery yet athletically leaped over the fence and ran onto the field to confront Lake in a profanity-laced tirade.

No punches were thrown, and Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro tripled in the next at-bat, coming around to score to cut the Cubs' deficit to 6-3.

Haren said Fernandez is "passionate" and added that his teammate's involvement might cost "a few thousand bucks" in fines.

Fernandez was contrite after the game.

"I probably shouldn't have gone on the field," he said. "But (Lake) went over the line, and emotions took over. I'm not trying to fight anybody. We're not boxing or the UFC."

Lake said the bad feelings started when Mat Latos, another Marlins pitcher on the disabled list, screamed at him.

"He was talking at me hard," Lake said in Spanish. "No man likes that.

"I understand I was wrong. I apologize to the pitcher and the players. But when one man screams at another, you don't like that. ... Fear, I don't know what that is, especially for another man."

Cubs manager Joe Maddon said he spoke to Lake during the game. Maddon said he also apologized to Marlins pitching coach Chuck Hernandez.

"We don't do that here, and that's the last time you will see it," Maddon said in regard to Lake's antics. "During the scrum, I told Chuck Hernandez -- because that's who I saw -- I said, 'It's our fault. We'll take care of it.' That's it.

"I don't to want to take the fight there by acting like a punk. I don't want us to take a page out of "Major League" and flamboyantly flip the bat after a long home run. For our minor-league guys watching, don't do that – it's not cool."

After order was restored, Miami (22-32) held on to take two of three games from Chicago (27-24).

Haren (6-2) got the win, pitching 5 2/3 innings and allowing three runs.

Cubs left-hander Jon Lester (4-4) took the loss, allowing nine hits and six runs in five innings.

Miami opened the scoring with a four-run second, a rally that was set up by singles from Ozuna and left fielder Ichiro Suzuki.

The Marlins cashed in on an RBI double by catcher J.T. Realmuto and a run-scoring single from shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria.

The inning appeared to be over when Castro threw out Marlins seco
