Robert Dugger looked like a completely different pitcher to the one who made his major league debut against the Mets in early August. Miami's #24 prospect threw seven strong innings against the Reds last night, only allowing a two-run home run after a Lewis Brinson error extended the first inning.
At the plate, the Marlins experienced a power surge. Jon Berti, Austin Dean, and Starlin Castro all left the yard, but the game would enter extra innings tied at 3-3 after Jarlin Garcia and Ryne Stanek teamed up to allow the tying run in the eighth inning.
