The Marlins are back home after their, all things considered, very successful trip out West coming home with a 5-4 record for their efforts. The Phillies are in town to play a three-game set.
Ricky Nolasco takes the hill for the Marlins. Ricky is his last outing threw a complete game, 3 hit, shutout. If he wants to do that again, we are all for it.
Vance Worley is on the mound for the Phillies. Worley pitched very well in his has three outings in which he only allowed a combined 2 runs in 18 innings of work. Worley throws a fastball (91 mph), slider, curve and change. His slider is his most effective pitch.
The Marlins starting lineup:
Boni, 3B
Infante, 2B
Gaby, 1B
Ramirez, SS
LoMo, LF
Stanton, RF
Petersen, CF
Buck, C
Ricky, P
It's nice that Petersen is playing everyday which gives Boni a chance to give some guys a day off.
Ichthyomancy is back home. Yay!
Best of Luck to You!
