Looking to avenge a tough game 1 loss to the Chicago Cubs, the Miami Marlins offense got right to work in the first inning on Saturday. Against veteran lefty Drew Smyly, Miguel Rojas walked, Bryan De La Cruz singled, but with 2 outs JJ Bleday flew out to Ian Happ to end the inning.
The offense once again came close to scoring in the top of the 3rd, but end up being unsuccessful. Rojas reached first base on a force out and Jesús Aguilar singled, moving up Rojas to second. With 2 outs, Bryan De La Cruz singled to drive in Rojas.
