It’s Sunday again, and you know what that means. Welcome to this week’s edition of The Good, The Bad, and The Pitchers Marlins Recap.  Here is the quick recap- The Good: The 6^th inning; The Bad: We lost; and The Pitchers: Anthony DeSclafani and Jacob Turner. Let’s take a deeper look at this game, shall we?

The Good:

Entering the 6^th inning the Marlins were down 7-0 and all seemed lost, but these Fish don’t quit. Jeff Mathis started the inning off with a double and was moved up to 3^rd with a sac bunt. Reed Johnson scored him with a double of his own.  Ed Lucas lined out to the 2^nd baseman and Giancarlo Stanton scored Reed with a single. Casey McGehee walked and Marcell Ozuna scored Stanton with a single. That would be all the scoring the Marlins would get that inning to cut the Mets lead to 7-3, but…

The Bad:

We still lost to the Mets 11-5 and the Mets took the series 3-1. Let’s move on to the pitchers.

The Pitchers:

Anthony and Jacob pitched 6.2 innings and gave up 14 hits, 11 runs, and only struck out 3. The 2^nd and 3^rd inning hurt the Marlins with the Mets scoring 2 runs in each inning. The 4^th and the 7^th hurt more with a 3 run 4^th and a 4 run 7^th. This was not the best game for the Marlins pitching but our pitchers are still young and will rebound from this.

Next up for the Fish are the Phillies in Philly for a 4 game series starting tomorrow. So root your Fish on.  Let’s Go Marlins!
