Marlins Have Winning Trip
April 28, 2008
The Marlins’ 2nd road trip of the season came to an end on Sunday on a winning note as the fish picked up a 3-2 win in 10 innings over the Brewers. The Marlins wound up with a 4-3 record on the seven game, three city trip that took them to Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Milwaukee.
Ricky Nolasco made the start for the Marlins and struggled early, throwing a lot of pitches and bringing early fears that the bullpen might have a long day. In the end, Nolasco lasted 5 innings surrendering only 2 hits and 1 earned run. Everyone in the bullpen got into the game for at least one out with Kevin Gregg pitching the 10th for his 4th save of the season. Renyel Pinto rebounded from a tough outing by striking out the only batter he faced.
At the dish, Wes Helms had a 3-5 day as he filled in for Mike Jacobs who was out with a sprained finger. Helms’ biggest hit came in the 10th in the form of a game winning home run. Helms had 2 runs batter in for the game, and Jorge Cantu added the other R.B.I. for the Marlins. Josh Willingham and Hanley Ramirez both had two hit days.
The Marlins are off on Monday, and will return to the field on Tuesday to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Andrew Miller will pitch for the fish while Derek Lowe will throw for the Dodgers.
