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.
