The Florida Marlins continue to play good baseball as the defeated the Atlanta Braves by the score of 6-5.  With the win over the Braves, the Marlins record now stand at 9-5.  I really like how the Marlins are playing baseball right now, they are an exciting team to watch.

Mike Jacobs and Luis Gonzalez both hit home runs for the Marlins.  Jacobs hit a solo shot in the third inning while Gonzalez hit a two run shot in the seventh inning.  Hanley Ramirez had two RBI for the Marlins while Jorge Cantu chipped in with one RBI.

Matt Hendrickson pitched 5.1 innigns to pick up the win for the Marlins.  It was Henderickson’s third win of the season.  Out of five relief pitchers, Matt Lindstrom was the only one to let in a run.  Other then Lindstrom the Marlins bullpen did a pretty good job.

The Florida Marlins shutout the Atlanta Braves by the score of 4-0 behind a great starting pitching performance by Scott Olson.  Olson pitched seven strong innings before handing the ball over to Renyel Pinto and Kevin Gregg who shut the door on the Braves in the eighth and ninth innings.

Olson only gave up five hits in his seven innings of action.  He struckout three batters and did not walk anyone.  With the victory he improved his record to 2-0.

Hanley Ramirez, Josh Willingham, and Mike Jacobs all had one RBI for the Marlins.

How long can the Marlins keep playing good baseball?  What do you think Marlins fans?  Leave a comment and let us know!

Mike Jacobs belted two homeruns as the Florida Marlins routed the Washington Nationals by the score of 10-4.  The Marlins scored seven runs in the 5th inning, and they never looked back in the game.

With Jacobs hitting two two-run homeruns, he led the team with four RBI’s.  Dan Uggla and Jeremy Hermida both had two RBI’s.  Jorge Cantu and Hanley Ramirez chipped in with one RBI each.

Scott Olsen pitched 7.2 innings to pick up the win.  He allowed four runs to cross the plate (three were earned) on four hits, four walks, and two strikeouts.  Olsen was a bit wild, but he was still pretty affective.

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.

It was another exciting game for the Florida Marlins who kept on battling back and eventually beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 on a Mike Jacobs walk off homerun to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning.

I really like how the team kept battling back in the game to tie it up, and then eventually won it.  That shows alot of this young Marlins team.

Josh Willingham homered and Hanley Ramirez had three hits for Florida. Kevin Gregg pitched one scoreless inning for the win.

The Florida Marlins opened up Spring Training with a 16-3 clubbing of the Baltimore Orioles.

Sergio Mitre started on the mound for the Marlins but only lasted three batters as he gave up two walks, and and let another batter reach on an error.  Mitre left after having some tightness in his pitching elbow.  Probably just some standard spring training soreness.

As Mitre left the game, Andrew Miller came in and had to get an inning ending double play to get out of trouble.  From there though, it was all Marlins as the offense kicked into high gear.

Hanley Ramirez walked, stole two bases and scored on a throwing error in the first inning. Left fielder Brett Carroll delivered a two-run single in the second and another run-scoring single in the sixth, and Cody Ross drilled a three-run home run in the fourth. Alejandro De Aza capped the scoring by belting a grand slam in the ninth inning.
