Sjlea.AuSt.56

Wade LeBlanc

The Marlins kick off a 3 game series with the Atlanta Braves at home with South Paw Wade LeBlanc on the mound against Tim Hudson of the Braves.

LeBlanc would have a rough start giving up 4 runs on 3 singles and a home run by former Marlin Dan Uggla.

The scoring would continue for the Braves in the 4th when LeBlanc walks Uggla, David Ross singles to left field and Jeff Baker with a RBI single. Hudsonwould help himself out with a RBI to make it 6-0.

Robert Brantly

The Marlins would get things going in the 4th with a single by Justin Ruggiano, Donovan Solano single, and a RBI single by Robert Brantly to make it 6-1.

Bryan Petersen would hit a 2 run triple to deep right center to make it a 6-3 ballgame. Gorkys Hernandez would have his 3rd hit of the night for a triple to center field to score Petersen to make it a 4 run inning for the Marlins.

In the 7th the Marlins would score another run on a Jose Reyes Double and Carlos Lee RBI single to make it a 1 run ball game.

The game would end with a score of 7-5 with the fish leaving 9 guys left on base. Wade LeBlanc would get the loss going just 4 innings giving up 6 runs on 7 hits and drop his record to 2-5.

Gorkys Hernandez gets my game ball tonight

My game ball goes to Gorkys Hernandez who would go 3 for 5 with 1 RBI and finish a home run shy of the cycle.

Honorable Mention: Robert Brantly goes 3 for 4 with a RBI. If we gave game balls to the other team it would go to Martin Prado who went 4 for 4 with 2 RBI’s on the night.

Tomorrow’s game will feature Nathan Eovaldi 4-12, 4.71 ERA against Paul Maholm 12-10, 3.90. Eovaldi had 2 short outings in his last 2 games going for a combined 9 innings giving up 7 runs on 14 hits the Marlins need 6 1/2-7 strong innings for the Marlins tomorrow. Giancarlo Stanton who sat out of today’s game with a sore side will likely return tomorrow.
