Big
Trade Goes Through!
A
big trade with The Minnesota Twins gives the Marlins a few
good players to add to the list. The Marlins send
1st Baseman Derrek Leon Lee, Pitcher Josh Beckett, and
Center Fielder Juan Encarnation to Minnesota. In Return
Florida recieves 1st baseman Doug Mientkiewicz, Pitcher
Kyle Lohse, and the home run hitting Center Fielder Torii
Hunter. A good trade for both teams!
THE
MARLINS WIN AGAIN!
The
marlins won again last night with a 8-0 victory over the
Pittsburgh Pirates! It was a close battle but Brad Penny wouldn't
give up anything and came out victorious and
nabbed another win to add to his record. Penny also
recorded 17 k's to improve him to 63 for the season. Luis
Castillo went 4 for 5 and completed a cycle and scored 3
runs with 6 rbi's to make his batting average improve to
.479 and a total of 23 rbi's on the season. He hit a 3 run
homer in his 2nd at bat to put the Marlins on the score
board in the 3rd inning. In the 5th inning he hit a 1 run
triple to add to the Marlins lead. In the 6th inning he
nailed a leadoff single and got caught in a double play
which ended the marlins rally for a few innings. He got another chance in the 9th inning to get a
double and miracoulsly did and afterwards successfully
stole and did not get in for a run though. More or less it
was a team effort that improved the Marlins to a 6-2
record. GO MARLINS!!!
