CIN 2, MIA 1; Marlins Lose Ninth Home Game in a Row
The Marlins wasted the Braxton Garrett game...again.
Five days after giving up five runs in five innings to the Cincinnati Reds, Garrett seemed like he was on his way to another clunker of an outing against the same opponent. The Reds put up two runs in the first inning thanks to two hits, a walk, hit-by-pitch, and a throwing error by Garrett.
But the lefty—who will be celebrating his 25th birthday in a few days—settled down and gave the Marlins a legitimate chance to win. After the first inning, he gave up just one hit and zero runs. In 5 \u2154 total innings, he struck out 11 Reds.
