Spring Recap - 3/27

In the final game in Jupiter for 2008, the Marlins dropped today’s game to the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0.    Rick VandenHurk started the game and lasted only 4.2 innings due to lack of control.     The Marlins #2 starter gave up 5 hits, and 2 earned runs but more worrisome were the 5 walks.    Lee Gardner, Taylor Tankersley, Renyel Pinto, and Kevin Gregg all had scoreless innings of relief.   The bats were quiet all game long for the fish as they manufactured 5 hits, 3 of which were singles.

On Friday, the Marlins will be playing the New York Yankees.

In the final road game of the Spring, the Marlins beat the New York Mets 7-5 today.   Ricky Nolasco started the game and had a great outing.   He had a great outing of 2 earned runs in 5 innings of pitched.   This outing was even more impressive since it came against the Mets whom he has struggled against numerous times in the past.   Renyel Pinto, Lee Gardner, and Joe Nelson added scoreless innings of their own in the game.    Matt Lindstrom surrendered 2 runs in 1 inning of work but both were unearned.   Logan Kensing pitched 2/3 of an inning and gave up one run.   Mike Jacobs and Jorge Cantu each hit home runs in the game.    Cantu continued his amazing Spring with another 3 runs batted in.
