With the series win in the bag, the Marlins hoped that lefty Trevor Rogers would continue off the solid outing against the Diamondbacks from last Friday. Things looked good early on but quickly spiraled out of control as Trev had to leave with an injury. The bullpen locked things down and kept the game close all the way into extra innings, but with a taxed bullpen and no arms left, Skip was forced to make one of the arms wear it and take the loss. Let’s break it down.
Trev worked around some trouble early in the top of the first, issuing a single to Thairo Estrada and a walk to Darin Ruf, both on full counts.
