High Flying Fish
The Marlins defeated the Pirates 9-7 this afternoon. It marks the 13th time this season Florida scored nine runs or more, the most times in the NL and tied for second in the majors with a number of American League teams. The Marlins rank third in the NL in Runs/Game at 4.86. Not bad for a team that was sold off a year and a half ago. They've developed a very good 1-5 lineup, and were smart enough to bunch their good hitters together. Now they need to get mature and heal their young pitchers.
