Pham said he got his glove on the ball but didn’t go after it full bore because left fielder Jeremy Hazelbaker was also in pursuit. So when Derek Dietrich lined a triple to give Miami a 5-4 win over the Redbirds, he was pretty pumped: His first career walk-off couldn’t have come at a better time.

“I’m hoping it’s nothing serious, but I just have to take it as it is and try to stay positive”, Rea said. “So I had to slide”. “I took like two months here, playing a little catch, but I started feeling good after like three weeks of playing games”.
“I’d like to get a million more”, Dietrich said when asked about walk-off hits. Miami holds a one-game advantage over St. Louis for the second Wild-Card position.
Andrew Cashner allowed one earned run in six innings in his Marlins debut. But Gray (5-10) was removed from the game after 3 1/3 innings, having given up seven runs and eight hits.
“I was just trying to throw inside”, Martinez said through a translator.
Miami Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki went 0-for-4 to remain at 2,998 career hits in the major leagues.
Dietrich, who filled in admirably during most of Gordon’s 80-game absence, had been struggling since the All-Star break with a. 085 average (4-for-47) after hitting.
St. Louis centerfielder Tommy Pham was walked in the eighth by Fernando Rodney, and later scored after Stephen Piscotty hit an RBI-double.
After leaving Saturday’s game against the Cardinals, Rea said, “Just kind of felt something in my elbow and it gradually got worse throughout the game”.
Despite what could be a crucial injury to starting pitcher Colin Rea the Miami Marlins rolled to an 11-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night at Marlins Park. In 400 plate appearances entering today, the 25 year old rookie is hitting.312/.374/.518 with 14 home runs.
“‘O’ puts us up by four early and then we were able to add on, which is nice because they have a unsafe club that can put some runs on the board quick”, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said.
The Cardinals don’t need to lose Aledmys Diaz (36). “But that’s kind of the Cardinal way over there”. Martinez has been hot lately with three straight victories with a 2.66 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. “I’ve never had elbow soreness or anything before that was to this extent, so I really don’t know what to expect”.
GIANTS 5, NATIONALS 3 Joe Panik hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh inning and host San Francisco snapped a three-game losing streak by beating Washington. The right-hander acquired from the Padres in a seven-player trade was placed on the disabled list Sunday with an elbow sprain.
That move backfired, however, as the next batter, Marcel Ozuna, hit a two-run double.
