The Miami Marlins dominated Milwaukee for a second straight night, riding a grand slam by Brian Anderson to an 8-3 victory Wednesday. The return of right-handed starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson was welcome, but he gave up five runs in three innings and took the loss. Even though Miami has the worst record in the National League at 23-and-38, it has won 13 of its last 18 games. Yasmani Grandal hit his 13th home run for the Brewers. Freddy Peralta starts this afternoon’s series finale at Miller Park.
