Streak Ends in Close Loss
May 12, 2008
Badenhop lasted 6 innings allowing 3 earned runs and 2 walks while striking out 2. A wild pitch with a runner on 3rd was a key mistake for Badenhop as it allowed the go ahead runner to score in the 6th inning. The Hopper was taken off the hook by the Marlins offense, however Taylor Tankersley was charged with the loss. Tank allowed 4 earned runs in one inning raising his season E.R.A to 8.25. Matt Lindstrom pitched the 8th inning for the fish and threw a scoreless inning.
The bats started early in this game as Jeremy Hermida and Hanley Ramirez his back-to-back home runs in the first inning. Dan Uggla added a home run of his own, his 12th of the season and 8th in the last 10 games. This was also Uggla’s 3rd straight game with at least one home run as his hot streak continued. The fish scored 3 runs in the top of the 8th when they were down 4 to cut the lead to 1 but it would be the end of the scoring leaving the Marlins one run short of tying the game.
The series continues on Tuesday as Mark Hendrickson takes the hill for the Marlins. The Reds will counter with Edinson Volquez.
