It feels like just yesterday that we were celebrating the team’s triumphant return to .500, but back on their home turf, all forward progress has come to a screeching halt.

After a 1 hour, 21-minute rain delay, the Marlins continued their home field suckitude Sunday as the Cardinals completed their sweep, and handed the Fish their fourth loss in a row.

Javy Vazquez went six innings and gave up four runs to the Cards. He pitched well, but the defense behind him was sloppy. Logan Morrison and Emilio Bonifacio ran into each other attempting to catch a pop up, and Mike Stanton committed an error to help out the Redbirds score three times with two out in the sixth.

Thanks to Bryan Petersen, the Fish tied it in the bottom of the inning. Petey hit his first Big League home run—and the Marlins’ first pinch-hit homer—a two-run shot to tie up the game.

The ugly defense wasn’t finished, however. Boni committed a throwing error in the top of the seventh, and the Cardinals scored three times to take a 7-4 lead.

They would round out their scoring off of Steve Cishek in the ninth, and go on to complete the sweep with an 8-4 victory.
