MIA 11, PHI 9; Marlins’ Turn for Clutch Hits
Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports The Marlins survived a wild offensive battle on Tuesday, helped by some suspect Phillies fielding. One night removed from perhaps the most heartbreaking Marlins loss of the season, the Fish returned the favor against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Marlins entered the ninth inning down by one run, looking dangerously close to suffering another one-run loss. With the bases loaded and no outs, Garrett Cooper hit a ground ball through the left side...

MIA 5, HOU 1; All-around team effort gives Marlins the series win
Photo by Bob Levey/ Once again, the Marlins grabbed an early lead and held onto it. On paper, Saturday’s game two of the Marlins v. Astros series seemed like a mismatch judging by the starting pitchers (Braxton Garrett v. Framber Valdez).

Miami all-right-handed lineup got it going right away in the top of the 2nd inning. With the help of Valdez’s shaky control and poor defense by Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña, the...
