Sloppy defense, Justin Verlander torment Marlins in 4-1 loss

JUPITER, Fla.—The Marlins offense had another disappointing day, losing to the Houston Astros Thursday, 4-1.

But this is Spring Training, and there are many things to look at beyond the final score. A few faces—both old and new—had encouraging performances.

Jose Urena tossed a solid two innings before running into trouble in the third. After starting the game with a leadoff walk, he went through the rest of the 1st inning in order, and capped it off with a strikeout of Carlos Correa.

His defense put him in trouble during the second inning however.
