Many Marlins fans were hoping that Olson would stay in the game for the complete game but he was taken out for a pitcher hitter in the bottom of the 8th inning when the bases were loaded.  Just like Nolasco the other night, Olson came three outs from the complete game.

Joe Nelson was called on to get the final three outs in the ninth inning but was unable to and was pulled after only recording one out and giving up one run.  Kevin Gregg came in to get the final two outs of the game and record his 17th save of the season.

Mike Jacobs had a two run home in the fourth inning to lead the Marlins with two rbi.  Hanley Ramirez added a solo home run in the game as well.  John Baker had a rbi sac fly in the 9th and then Wes Helms walked with the bases loaded to add on another insurance run in the final inning.

The Marlins will now travel up to Los Angeles to begin a four game series with the Dodgers on Thursday night.  More late night games on the West coast means all the Marlins will have to stay up late to watch the game.

Olson threw all nine inning and struck out eight batters while walking four batters.  Great job my Olson and it saved the Marlins bullpen from having to come into the game and gets them an extra night of rest.

Luis Gonzalez got the Marlins scoring started in the second inning with a RBI single and then Mike Jacobs had a two run home run in the third inning.  That was all the scoring the Marlins needed as Olson was on fire on the mound.
