The Miami Marlins fell 9 to 5 in the finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Marlins Park. The Marlins are struggling, as now they are now 2 – 8.

Mark Buehrle had a poor start by allowing 4 runs on 8 hits with 3 strikeouts, 2 walks and gave up 2 homers in 5 innings on 94 pitches which 57 were strikes. He’s now 1-4 with an ERA of 3.34.

Recently called up Daniel Jennings made his major league debut in the 6th inning. He pitched a scoreless inning, but he walked one batter. Ryan Webb pitched scoreless innings. In the 9th, Heath Bell was supposed to keep the score close by having scoreless innings, instead he gives up 2 runs on 1 hit and a walk. His ERA is NOT good; it’s now at 10.80.

Donnie Murphy and Austin Kearns both hit their 2nd home runs of the season and both were 2 run- homers, but it wasn’t enough to beat the D-Backs as the Marlins fall 9-5 in front of 31,006 fans.
