Scooter Gennett, Eugenio Suarez and Tucker Barnhart homered to power the Cincinnati Reds over the Miami Marlins 6-3 Sunday and avoid a three-game sweep.

Billy Hamilton had three hits and stole a pair of bases to increase his major league-leading total to 43 as the Reds finished a 2-8 homestand in which they allowed 23 homers and 72 runs. Opponents reached double figures in scoring four times.

Rookie right-hander Sal Romano (2-2) made his fourth and longest big league start, allowing one run and three hits over six innings with one walk and seven strikeouts. A.J. Ellis homered in the fourth.

Raisel Iglesias gave up one hits over two innings for his first save since July 9, his 17th in 18 chances this year.

Miami's Giancarlo Stanton went 0 for 4 and finished the series without a home run. The NL home run leader had connected in three straight first innings entering the series.
