DENVER (AP) _ Preston Wilson homered, doubled and scored twice as the Florida Marlins beat the Colorado Rockies 3-1 in a rain-shortened game that ended in the seventh inning Saturday.

Pitching in a persistent drizzle and a wind chill in the high 20s, Chuck Smith (5-6) gave up one run and four hits in six-plus innings for the Marlins, who handed Colorado its seventh loss in eight games.

Several players from each team wore ski masks in an attempt to stay warm, and one Florida player was spotted with a cup of hot chocolate while sitting in the dugout in the sixth.

Rockies starter John Wasdin (0-2), making his third start of the season, struck out a career-high 11 in seven innings. He gave up three runs on six hits and walked one.

Staked to a three-run lead, Smith surrendered a run on Butch Huskey's RBI double with none out in the Rockies seventh, but umpire Ed Montague then summoned the grounds crew.

Colorado's comeback bid ended 42 minutes later when the poor weather continued and Montague called the game.

One day after becoming the 23rd player in major league history with 30 homers and 30 steals, Wilson led off the sixth with a solo home run to give the Marlins a 3-0 lead.

With a steady mist beginning to fall, Florida opened the scoring in the third on Wilson's one-out double, an RBI single by Mike Lowell and a run-scoring double by Derrek Lee.
