Isaac Galloway delivers big in extra innings to give Fish the win

The Marlins went extra innings tonight and actually won. The bottom of the tenth was the stage for Isaac Galloway to win it for the Fish. The pitching came through in big ways for the Fish.

Wei-Yin Chen: 7 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 8 K

Luis Castillo: 8.1 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K

Wei-Yin Chen pitched a gem tonight. That does not get said often, even when he does pitch good it is not this good. The biggest thing was the seven innings pitched, the Fish have needed pitchers to go long all season. The movement on each pitch was evident tonight and this allowed Chen to go deep.

Luis Castillo continued to show the Fish what kind of pitcher they traded away. He went longer and only gave up two hits and a walk more than Chen. The Fish had runners in scoring position two different times against Castillo but could not get the job done. He was missing bats left and right and was able to get out of any jams he ran into.

The Marlins would not be able to get anything done until after Castillo was out of the game. The ninth inning was the next time the Fish would be in scoring position. After a Starlin Castro single, J.T. Realmuto drew a walk. With one out already Peter O’Brien grounded out to end the inning.

The Fish did not stop there though. The next inning Brian Anderson knocked a double into right field to get the offense going. Isaac Galloway followed that up with a game winning double to right field, bringing Anderson home. The Fish had multiple chances to score some runs, but they finally came through in the end.
