Marlins ace Josh Johnson returned to the mound for his first start since May. Johnson’s first pitch was a 91 mph, fastball and was foul tip by Schumaker. His fastest pitched was a 94 mph fastball. Johnson pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings and ended with 41 pitches. He left the game early due to his limited pitch count.

Recently acquired Wade LeBlanc had a great relief in his first Spring Training game as a Marlins. He had a scoreless 2.1 innings with no walks and three strike outs. Chad Gaudin and Gary Glover also pitched scoreless innings.

Chris Hatcher had a rocky outing, giving up 3 runs in the 9th inning. But it didn’t matter because Daniel Jennings came out and save the day.

1st Reyes SS 2nd Bonifacio, CF 3rd Stanton, DH 4th Dobbs, 1B 5th Infante, 2B 6th Petersen, RF 7th Hayes, C 8th Jensen, LF 9th Dominguez, 3B
