Fish Wrap: Marlins 3, Padres 158

Photo

The one part of Wednesday night's Marlins/Padres game that is worth recapping came in the ninth inning, when Bryan Petersen was called on to pitch. Petey Pipes tossed a scoreless inning, and became the Marlins' first position player to pinch pitch since Ross Gload tossed an inning in relief against Tampa Bay back in 2009. 

If Petey had started the game rather than finished it, the outcome might have been different. As it was, Ricky Nolasco allowed 9 runs on 9 hits, marking what he deemed "probably the worst start of my career." It was definitely the shortest start of his career at a measly 1 1/3 innings. 

To really scrape the barrel for another highlight, we move on to Emilio Bonifacio, who stretched his hitting streak to 19 games in the Marlins' 14-3 loss.

The Fish have dropped their series with the Padres, and will try and avoid a sweep this afternoon at Sun Life Stadium.

Love the post title, GameFish!

Congrats to Petey for pitching a great 9th inning!
Hopefully the Fish will get their act together for today’s game.
Surely Hayes will play. I think they need to consider giving Buck more than one game off. There’s a lot of baseball left to play this season.

Title threw me for a second...

I thought Vazquez was pitching with that score.

On the bright side...

If the rumor of selling Leo at the deadline turns out to be true, at least Petey can close for us.

We need to stop giving up first inning runs...

Oh, wonderful, Javy Vasquez is starting. Nevermind.
