Ross, Uggla homer in 9th, lift Marlins past Cubs

MIAMI: Cody Ross's first home run drew a curtain call, with the Florida Marlins' faithful pleading with him to emerge from the dugout and tip his cap.

After Ross' second homer Sunday, all the Marlins took a bow.

Dan Uggla tied the game with a solo home run in the ninth, Ross followed with the game-winner off former Florida closer Kevin Gregg one pitch later and the Marlins beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Sunday, moving within five games of Philadelphia for the NL East lead.
