The Florida Marlins rallied after a 1.5 hour rain delay to score three runs and defeat the Washington Nationals by the score of 4-2.  The Marlins were down 2-0 heading into the sixth inning but then scored four un-answered runs to come back and pick up the victory.  With the win, the Marlins took two out of three games against the Nationals.

Ricky Nolasco pitched seven hits and only gave up three hits and two run while picking up the win.  Nolasco really stepped up and threw a quality game as he improved his record to 9-4.  Reynel Pinto and Kevin Gregg tossed scoreless innings in the eighth and ninth to finish off the Nats.  Gregg recorded his 15th save in the game.

Alfredo Amezaga provided the big hit for the Marlins as he hit a two run home run in the seventh inning off of Nationals reliever Charlie Manning.  Amezaga was the MVP for the Marlins as he finished the day with two rbi.  Robert Andino had a rbi single in the sixth inning to get the Marlins scoring started.  Wes Helms added an insurance run in the eighth inning with a rbi sac fly that scored Jorge Cantu.

Good come from behind win for the Marlins.  Anytime you win a series you are doing what you are supposed to do.  Now the fish will begin a four game series with the Colorado Rockies on Thurday night.

What an exciting come from behind win for the Florida Marlins over the Washington Nationals.  Hanley Ramirez tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning with a solo home run and then Josh Willingham hit a game winning walk off solo home run in the tenth inning to win it for the Nationals.  Both of the home runs came off Nationals relief pitcher Jon Rauch.

Willingham led the Marlins at the plate with two home runs and three rbi in the game.  Ramirez, Robert Andino, and Matt Treanor all had one rbi in the game for the Marlins.  It was a nice balanced scoring attack for the fish.

Kevin Gregg who pitched the top of the tenth inning ended up recording the win in the game and improved to 6-2.  Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Tucker pitched the first five innings of the game and gave up six hits and four runs.  Tucker had problems keeping the ball in the park as he was taken deep twice.

Doug Waechter pitched 2 1/3 innings and gave up one run.   Renyel Pinto and Justin Miller pitched 1 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball before Gregg took over in the tenth inning.

All in all it was a good win for the Marlins.  They never gave up and got another come from behind win as they improved their record to 43-39 on the season.  Marlins Blog

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.
