Giancarlo Stanton’s bad luck continued Friday night as he injured his left wrist whiffing on a swing against the Los Angeles Dodgers. “On the swing the bat dug into my hand a tiny bit”, Stanton said.

MIAMI – The Miami Marlins scored a franchise record eight first-inning runs Tuesday against former teammate Nathan Eovaldi and beat the New York Yankees 12-2 to complete a two-game sweep.
The Marlins struck out a season-high 16 times with just one run and six hits in Friday’s 7-1 defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Rodriguez, who was already on the 15-day disabled list, has known for weeks that he had a bone spur in the elbow (a bone spur can become a loose body) that would eventually require surgery. The ex- 2009 Cy Young victor allowed four hits over 7.2 innings, without a runner ever reaching scoring position off of him as he extended his scoreless innings streak to 20.2.
It was notable for the fact that it probably would have killed anyone who stood in its path, and because its elevation angle was one of the lowest recorded on a home run this season at a mere 17.9 degrees. “It would be easy to toss in the towel right now or we’re going to find out what kind of fighters we have and how we step up”.
Greinke’s mound opponent rookie right hander Jose Urine, a Dominican hurler that Orel and Nomar kept referring to as “little Pedro” kept the Dodgers to one earned run on four hits across five frames. The Marlins win on Saturday was a step in the right direction but they have still dropped eight of eleven.
It was the 48th career hit-by-pitch for McCutchen and the eighth this season. Ramos got three outs for his 10th save in 13 chances. 201 and averaging two runs a game over the past nine games through Friday. Adeiny Hechavarria was awarded third base on that play and scored on a wild pitch.
“I did that previous year; I broke my index finger hitting against Matt Cain”, Anderson said.
TWINS 5, BREWERS 2 (at Milwaukee) – Torii Hunter homered twice and doubled, Eduardo Escobar hit a three-run homer and Minnesota prevailed. Stanton indicated the pain grew worse as the game progressed.
Haren reportedly preferred to remain in Los Angeles, and both the Dodgers and Angels could benefit from additional starting pitching.
Now its upon us to pick it up and we cant feel sorry for ourselves, Jennings said.
“I try not to think about it too much”, Greinke said of the lack of run support.
The Dodgers added some insurance in the seventh with a two-out walk by Kendrick, followed by an opposite-field double by Adrian Gonzalez for a 2-0 lead. Puig entered in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter and finished the game….

This injury is likely the nail in the coffin for the Marlins, a team that presently sits at 30-45, good for just fourth place in the not-so-competitive National League East. With apologies to speedy second baseman Dee Gordon, Stanton is far and away the best player in the Miami clubhouse.
