MIAMI -- When his turn to bat came in the seventh inning, Cliff Lee hustled to the plate like an eager Little Leaguer, hoping he could stay in the game for the Philadelphia Phillies' rally.

Pinch-hitter Ross Gload waved him back to the dugout and Lee reluctantly trudged off the field and became a spectator as the Phillies overtook the Florida Marlins 5-3 on Wednesday night.

Lee, who has been plagued by poor run support, pitched six innings and trailed 3-1 when he departed.

"I didn't want to come out of the game," he said. "I never want to come out of a game. In the National League, that happens. We won. That's all that really matters."

With Lee on the bench, the Phillies' bats finally came alive. Jimmy Rollins broke a 3-all tie with a two-out, two-run single in the ninth off Leo Nunez (0-1).

Shane Victorino extended his hitting streak to 14 games when he led off the eighth with his sixth homer, which came off Mike Dunn and made the score 3-all. Pete Orr entered the game in the seventh and had two doubles for Philadelphia.

"It was a game it didn't look like we were going to win until the end," Orr said.

With the score 3-all and one out in the ninth, Dane Sardinha singled and took third on a double by Orr. Both scored on the single by Rollins, who had stranded four runners earlier in the game.

"He came through," manager Charlie Manuel said. "You can take one cut and save a bad night."

Before Rollins' hit, the Phillies were 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position after going 0-for-6 in a loss Tuesday.

"I guess if we play long enough, we're going to get some hits and score some runs," Manuel said. "We were having a tough time."

Kyle Kendrick (3-2) pitched a scoreless eighth, and Ryan Madson followed with a perfect ninth for his fifth save in as many chances. Madson has allowed only one run in 15 innings this season.

Florida's Ricky Nolasco went 6 1/3 innings and gave up two runs, one earned. Hanley Ramirez, trying to snap out of a season-long slump, hit his second homer and later singled and scored.

The Marlins lost the three-game series, and they've dropped nine of their past 10 home games against Philadelphia, with the lone victory Tuesday over Roy Halladay.

"Baseball is weird," Nolasco said. "We lost two of three, but we always battle against these guys. We'll see them again."

Lee allowed seven hits and struck out only four after fanning a career-high 16 strikeouts in his last start. He and the Phillies fell behind 3-0 after six innings, and at that point they had scored only one run in Lee's past four starts.

"I was concerned about us not scoring for him," Manuel said. "It's not like they're not trying to score for him. That's just baseball. That's the way it goes sometimes. Sometimes it goes a month. Sometimes it goes two or three years."

Lee had to wonder about his luck when Phils catcher Brian Schneider had a chance to score easily from second on a two-out single in the fifth but strained his left hamstring rounding third and limped back to the base. Rollins then grounded out to end the inning.

"I felt bad, man," Schneider said. "It definitely didn't feel good. If it did, I would have scored."

Schneider was replaced by Sardinha. The Phillies are already without catcher Carlos Ruiz, who is on the disabled list with lower back inflammation.
