Marlins lose to Diamondbacks 12-9, fall below .500:
Ricky falters, and falls to 4-2 on the season.

Notes and thoughts: 
  • The Marlins have not been under .500 since April 3rd. Well, they are tonight. After losing 12-9 in an adventerous game, the Marlins are 32-33. 
  • Ricky Nolasco gave up 9 runs, 4 being unearned, and did not fool anyone. He only lasted 3 innings. 
  • The bullpen was worked, but they did an effective job. Giving up only 3 runs in 6 innings.
  • Why does Kirk Gibson always look so sad? He is a solid manager though. That team has a nice core, and a solid future.
Key Plays:
In a 4 run fourth, Miguel Montero had a 3-run double.
Zach Duke hit a 2-run HR in a 5 run 3rd.
Omar Infante had a 2-run double
Gerardo Parra nailed Bonifacio at the plate after an Infante single.
Mike Stanton added an RBI single, and had a 2-run double.
John Buck had a 2-run single.
Key Plays

Wrapup:
On a night where the Marlins had the most hits and runs they have scored this season, they lose. Isn't baseball a beautiful sport? They fall 7.5 behind the Phils, and they need to gain some games to have a chance. How do they do that? They beat the Phils. A HUGE 4 game series is among them as 4 games will be played at Citizens Bank Park in a span of 48 hours. While it is early in the season, this series may make or break their season.
