MILWAUKEE -- Right fielder Ichirio Suzuki had four hits and the Miami Marlins bullpen bent but didn’t break, leaving the tying run stranded at first in a 9-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday night at Miller Park.

The Marlins relievers had posted 4 1/3 scoreless innings, protected a five-run lead heading into the ninth. But errors on first baseman Justin Bour and shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria gave Milwaukee a run, and right-hander A.J. Ramos allowed another when he walked pinch-hitter Adam Lind with the bases loaded but struck out Elian Herrera with the bases loaded to pick up his 20th save of the season.

Second baseman Dee Gordon, left fielder Derek Dietrich and outfielder Cole Gillespie had two hits each as the Marlins collected 13 hits, seven of them at the expense of Brewers starter Tyler Cravy.

The right-hander couldn’t get out of the third inning and gave up seven runs -- four earned -- on seven hits and three walks while striking out two.

Marlins left-hander Adam Conley didn’t fare much better, though he did go one inning further and only allowed four runs on nine hits and a walk with seven strikeouts.

A single and two walks loaded the bases in the first inning and set the stage for Gillespie's triple.

Cravy worked quickly through the second and retired the first two batters in the third before left fielder Derek Dietrich doubled off the wall in center.

Helped by errors on center fielder Logan Schafer and second baseman Elian Herrera, the next six Miami batters reached, and the Marlins stretched the lead to 7-0 on Gordon's RBI double.

Cravy gave way after giving up a base hit to right fielder Ichiro Suzuki after Gordon's hit.

Milwaukee put four on the board in the fourth thanks to an RBI single by third baseman Hernan Perez and a two-run double by Herrera.

Shortstop Jean Segura got the Brewers within three on a single to shallow center later in the frame, chasing Conley.

NOTES: Brewers CF Shane Peterson got Tuesday night off, his second time out of the lineup since taking over in center field after Carlos Gomez was traded to the Astros at the deadline. Logan Schafer started in place of Peterson against the Marlins. ... Marlins manager Dan Jennings gave OF Marcell Ozuna a night off Tuesday and plans to go with a four-man outfield rotation for the near future. ... Miami is 38-1 this season when leading after six innings; the best in baseball. The Marlins' only loss came on May 27, when they allowed five seventh-inning runs in a 5-2 loss to the Pirates. ... The Brewers have spent 131 days in the NL Central basement this season, including the last 128 in a row. ... The series concludes Wednesday afternoon with Brewers RHP Wily Peralta (3-7, 4.07 ERA) taking on Marlins RHP Tom Koehler (8-10, 3.68 ERA).
