The Florida Marlins battled back with three runs in the eighth inning but they needed atleast one more to extend the game as they went onto lose to the Cincinnati Reds 8-7.  I’ll give the team credit for coming back, they just needed one more big hit to take the lead, they just didn’t get it done tonight.

Hanley Ramirez, Jeremy Hermida, and Dan Uggla all hit home runs in the game.  All three of the home runs were solo shots however.  Besides those three rbi’s for the Marlins, Luis Gonzalez and Mike Rabelo also had one rbi each in the game.

The Florida Marlins brought he big sticks out on Monday night and clubbed three homeruns against the Washington Nationals.  The Marlins put up 10 runs in the ballgame as Hanley Ramirez, Dan Uggla, and Robert Andino all went deep.

Andrew Miller started the game on the mound for the Marlins but only lasted 3.1 innings as he gave up eight hits and six earned runs.  Miller is going to have to show a better performance than that if he wants to make sure he keeps his spot in the rotation all year long.

Renyel Pinto picked up the win as he pitched 2.2 innings in relief.  Kevin Gregg picked up his first save of the season.  The Marlins bullpen really bailed them out today and it might be something they have to do a lot this season.

After the game, the Marlins activated OF Jeremy Hermida off the DL and optioned OF Brett Carroll to the minors. Before, they purchased the contract of RHP Burke Badenhop from Double-A Carolina.
