MIAMI — The short career of Josh Johnson has been loaded with pitching gems and clutch, shutdown performances against powerful lineups that have made him one of the best young hurlers in the game. But until Monday, he'd never had a greater night. And as a group, the Marlins hadn't put together a better game [...]
MIAMI — The Marlins gained one late-inning reliever and lost another on Monday. Right-hander Brian Sanches, who had been nursing a strained right hamstring since the end of Spring Training, was activated from the 15-day disabled list. But in order to make room for him on the 25-man roster, the Marlins placed left-hander Dan Meyer [...]
DENVER — Keeping the ball in the park hadn't been an issue for Chris Volstad — but it became a critical part of the game Sunday. The 23-year-old right-hander surrendered two home runs to Seth Smith and was tagged for seven runs in 4 1/3 innings overall in an 8-4 loss to the Rockies at [...]
Carroll making most of opportunities Maybin's dizziness keeps him out of lineup Sanches nearing return to Marlins' bullpen DENVER — Doubleheaders have a way of creating havoc on a rotation. All things considered, the Marlins escaped Saturday's twin bill with their pitching pretty much in tact. In fact, because of how the doubleheader shaped up, [...]
DENVER — To find the last time the Marlins swept a doubleheader, you have to go back to May 2008. They'll have to wait a while longer to claim a sweep. Left-hander Nate Robertson surrendered a three-run homer to Miguel Olivo and exited after four innings, as the Rockies defeated the Marlins, 8-1, before 31,560 [...]
DENVER — An extra day certainly didn't slow down Ricky Nolasco. Neither did a cold 54-degree afternoon or an explosive Rockies lineup. Picking up where he left off a week ago, Nolasco once again was brilliant, striking out nine in the Marlins' 4-1 win over the Rockies in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader at Coors [...]
DENVER — Jorge Cantu's work is cut out for him. To keep his hitting streak alive, the Marlins' slugger must collect at least one hit in each game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies at Coors Field. Cantu is riding a 20-game hit streak, including 16 games to open this season. Hitting streaks carry over [...]
DENVER — Winter-like weather threatened the Denver area all day, and the biting cold and icy rain caused the first postponement of the Major League season. The Marlins and Rockies tilt, set for Friday night at Coors Field, was called off about 20 minutes before it's scheduled 9:10 p.m. ET start. The game will be [...]
HOUSTON — Thursday was a good night all around for the Florida Marlins. Anibal Sanchez was strong and Jorge Cantu extended his hitting streak to 20 games, 16 this season, as the Marlins stopped a two-game losing streak by beating the Astros, 5-1, at Minute Maid Park before 21,802. "We didn't want to leave here [...]
