Five run ninth gives victory to Marlins

A close game between two top teams finally broke wide open in the top of the ninth last night. Florida put a big five on the scoreboard to secure a 10-4 victory. Dan Uggla’s three RBI took him to a total of 12 which is second place in the National League.

The winning pitcher was Hayden Penn going to 1-0. The key was to get out of a Braves rally in the bottom of the fifth that knocked out starter Andrew Miller. The bullpen then kept Atlanta bats quiet the rest of the evening.

The Marlins record now stands at 7-1. It is a young season, and their lack of depth means that they need to stay healthy to remain competitive. The ride so far has been great.
