Chris Gutierrez, a 29-year-old second baseman who has spent the last two years with Jacksonville, provided pretty much all of the offense for Jacksonville.

Justin Nicolino had his fourth straight outstanding start after a rough start to the season. Nicolino has not walked a batter in his last three starts. With a 3.05 FIP coming into Friday's start, Nicolino is back on top of his game - reason enough for Marlins fans to be ecstatic.

Trailing by a run, Greensboro had the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, but Michael Main couldn't get the run across. Greensboro falls to 18-28 with the loss.
