MIAMI -- One pitch from being pulled, and one strike from victory, Homer Bailey unleashed a 97 mph fastball to finish off the Marlins. With his 125th pitch -- a career high -- Bailey completed a six-hitter and helped the Cincinnati Reds extend their winning streak to four games by beating Miami 6-2 Tuesday night. Bailey went to a full count on the final batter, Greg Dobbs, and wouldnt have faced another, manager Dusty Baker said. "We were counting pitches in the ninth inning," Baker said. "We were like, Come on, Homer. Quit fouling them off, Dobbs." Dobbs finally lined out weakly, and Bailey earned his first victory since April 5. The Reds climbed a season-best seven games above .500 as they began a nine-game trip. The Marlins, who have the NLs worst record, lost their third game in a row and fell to 5-12 at home. Bailey (2-3) tied a career high with 10 strikeouts and walked none in his fourth complete game. He was glad to give the Reds relievers a break. "Theyve been griping at me," he said. "The last couple of games I only went five or six. Its about time I gave them a day off." The right-hander has endured spotty run support this season, but the Reds scored five times in the second inning to go ahead 6-1. "With that kind of lead I was just trying to be really aggressive," Bailey said. He retired his final eight batters and allowed only four hits over the final 8 2-3 innings. "He worked with tremendous control," Miamis Adeiny Hechavarria said. "He located the pitches where he wanted and fooled us several times." A brief, uncharacteristic bout of wildness proved costly for Ricky Nolasco (2-5), who gave up six runs in five innings. He hit a batter with a pitch and walked two -- both with the bases loaded. Xavier Paul hit a three-run double for the Reds. Brandon Phillips, who began the night tied for the NL lead in RBIs, drove in two runs. Joey Votto drove in a run and had three hits to hike his average to .322. Ryan Hanigan added two hits to raise his average to .149. Miami batted rookies Derek Dietrich and Marcell Ozuna third and fourth, but the strategy failed to jump-start an offence ranked last in the majors in runs, batting average and homers. The Marlins have totalled three runs in Nolascos past three starts. Manager Mike Redmond blamed the feeble attack for Nolascos costly bases on balls. "It kind of stems from our offence, with him going out there he knows he cant give up much," Redmond said. "Hes trying to be perfect; he ends up walking a couple of guys." Cincinnati broke the game open in the second inning, when they scored five times with two outs. Nolasco hit Shin-Soo Choo with a pitch and, after the Reds loaded the bases, walked Votto and Phillips to force in runs. Nolasco then grooved a 3-1 pitch to Paul, who hit a three-run double. "One out away -- frustrating," Nolasco said. "Ive been doing a good job of staying away from that big crooked inning all year but it got me today." A five-run lead was plenty for Bailey. "Homer to me has turned into one of those guys where you could maybe consider him the ace of your staff," Votto said. "He has consistently gotten better over his career, and its really impressive to see him improve and grow."

FA chief executive Martin Glenn says he been impressed with Gareth Southgate Glenn said: Gareth is in a strong position because, not just the fact the last four games showed a lot of signs of encouragement, but the fact hes worked in the FA for the last couple of years, ran the U21s well, understands how the international set-up works.Southgate spoke in the build-up to Englands game against Spain of the importance of continuity, and with that in mind it is understood he feels a contract until the end of the 2018 World Cup would not be in his, but more importantly the teams best interests.

Graeme Le Saux insists the selection process he is part of is important While Southgate is expected to acknowledge he has less experience than Allardyce and Hodgson, other financial factors will play a part during negotiations, such as what it would cost in compensation to appoint a manager who is currently employed, as well as the earning potential for a manager in the Premier League.Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew and Aston Villas Steve Bruce - both considered to be viable contenders for the role in the summer and when Allardyce was sacked - are understood to earn more than £2m per year on their respective club deals, which both have multiple years to run, bringing compensation into play were they to be considered by the FAs five-man selection panel.The cost of hiring Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger at the end of the season would negate the need to pay compensation as he is out of contract in the summer of 2017, yet his wage demands would be considerably higher than any other candidate.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!Also See:Rooney defied Southgate orderFA: Southgate wants England jobFIFA opens poppy proceedingsFA to investigate celebrations ' ' '
