The Florida Marlins were hammered by the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night by the score of 10-1. The Padres jumped all over Marlins starting pitcher Andrew Miller who only lasted five innings after giving up six hits and four runs. The Marlins bullpen wasn’t much better however as they allowed the Padres to tack on six more runs in the game.
Doug Waechter was charged with five runs (three were earned) while only recording one out in the sixth inning. Waechter served up a three run home run to Scott Hairston which really blew the game wide open. Logan Kensing then gave up one more run and by that time the game was pretty much over in my books.
Jeremy Hermida had the only rbi for the Marlins as he hit a solo home run in the first inning off of Randy Wolf. Other than that one hit by Hermida, the Marlins only had five hits while leaving 16 runners on base and striking out eight times.
It was a terrible day for the Marlins who just need to forget about it and come out and play better Wednesday afternoon as they still have a chance to win the series against the Padres.
