MIAMI — As far as success against the Marlins goes, Brian McCann was the antithesis of Chipper Jones going into Thursday. So what happened in the top of the 10th made perfect sense. In a tied game with one out and first base open, Florida intentionally walked Jones — a guy whose career success against [...]
MIAMI — True superstars may be few and far between on low-payroll teams, but the Marlins know they have two in Hanley Ramirez and Josh Johnson. On Wednesday night, that duo proved it once again.

MIAMI — Time after time in the late innings, the Marlins spoiled opportunity after opportunity to reclaim the lead against the Braves on Tuesday.

But while the Marlins were able to avoid being burned by Ramirez's power, they were stung by flare single. Casey Blake floated a soft single to center field [...]
LOS ANGELES — In his first start since the All-Star Game, Josh Johnson again showed why he's a rising star. Johnson posted his 17th quality start, and he added a key single at the plate, to help inspire the Marlins' 6-3 win over the Dodgers on Friday night in front of 51,565 at Dodger Stadium. [...]
LOS ANGELES — Before emerging as a fan favorite and the starting center fielder for Florida, Cody Ross had the experience of wearing Dodger Blue.

SAN DIEGO — Strikeouts are coming in bunches for Ricky Nolasco, which usually means success follows for the Marlins' right-hander.
