Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Jose Reyes slammed a three-run home run and Giancarlo Stanton made Coors Field history as the Miami Marlins dropped the Colorado Rockies, 6-5.

Stanton's homer gave him five straight games at Coors Field with one, matching Jeff Kent's mark for a visiting player.

Wade LeBlanc (2-2), who compiled a 1.76 earned run average in three starts for the Marlins, did not have much success despite picking up the win. He was charged for five runs on nine hits and a pair of walks in five innings.

Eric Young Jr. picked up a pair of hits and scored a run for the Rockies, who saw their four-game win streak come to an end.

Jeff Francis' rocky second run in Colorado continued. He gave up four runs on five hits in five innings, but was let off the hook with a no decision. In his last five starts, he has an 8.59 ERA.
