News
Marlins starting pitcher Kevin Slowey endured a rough outing at home as he was tagged with the loss Friday night against the Diamondbacks.

Slowey (1-4), who made his ninth start of the season, had a hard time keeping the ball in the park as he surrendered a pair of home runs to Paul Goldschmidt and a solo shot to Eric Chavez. The right-hander was charged with six runs and seven hits over three innings of work. He struck out one and walked one in a 9-2 defeat.

Slowey has lost his last two starts and has seen his ERA rise from 1.81 to 3.44 over that span. He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday against the Phillies. He is 1-0 with a 0.73 ERA in two starts against the Phillies this season.

News
Marlins starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco struck out 11 in eight-plus innings of a 2-1 win Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Nolasco was going for the complete-game shutout, but he was pulled in the ninth after allowing a leadoff double to Didi Gregorius, who would scored two batters later.

Nolasco (3-5), whose career-high for strikeouts in a game is 16, allowed a run on five hits and a walk. He threw 74 of 110 pitches for strikes. The right-hander had lost three straight starts coming entering Sunday.

"Good command of all the pitches," Nolasco said, per the Sun-Sentinel. "The curveball was really good today, so that helped a lot. I was able to spin it pretty much whenever I wanted to and (Jeff) Mathis did a good job of realizing that and we used it very well."

Nolasco will next start Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. Nolasco is 7-10 with a 5.35 ERA in 19 career interleague starts.

News
When a starting pitcher makes it through 27 batters in a row during a start without allowing a hit, it is rightly celebrated as one of the most impressive achievements in baseball.  When a reliever does it over nine appearances mostly in the late innings of a game, we hardly take notice.

Just ask Marlins reliever Ryan Webb, who had not allowed a hit in his last 32 opponent at-bats before Joey Votto singled off him Wednesday. Even he hadn't realized how long his hitless streak was until after it ended.

"Honestly, I didn't even pick up on it until a week ago," Webb told the Sun-Sentinel. "Probably San Diego [last week] I realized it had been a little while."

Webb has only gone less than a full inning in one of his last 10 outings, and has not allowed a run in that span. With 11 strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings, Webb is well aware of how much help he has gotten from his defense in this streak.

"Definitely there was some good defense behind all those outs I got and I got lucky on some stuff, which is going to happen," Webb said. "I'm getting the put-aways when I need to."

News
Thank you, Mike Redmond. Thank you for giving the most exciting 20-year-old this side of Bryce Harper a chance to matter in Fantasy.

By allowing Jose Fernandez to throw 99 pitches Thursday, as he said he eventually would, that's exactly what he did.

Don't get me wrong: Fernandez was looking like a good source of ERA and WHIP and a relatively good source of strikeouts (particularly if measured by inning) before then, but limited to just 85 pitches per start, he wasn't getting enough innings for those ratios to amount to anything.

He may still struggle to win games pitching for the Marlins, but now that you don't have to worry so much about him getting pulled before the fifth inning, he's a must-own in Fantasy.

Koehler has allowed three runs over 11 innings since joining the starting rotation. He has struck out eight and walked three over that span. He is scheduled to make his next start Friday at the White Sox.

Dunn walked the bases loaded before getting pinch hitter A.J. Pollock to ground out to shortstop to end the threat. It was Dunn's first 2013 save and second career save.

News
Rookie outfielder Marcell Ozuna hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the sixth inning for the Marlins, which turned out to be the game-winning hit in a 2-1 victory Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Ozuna has managed two multi-RBI game through 18 appearances, which account for five of his eight RBI.

Ozuna has hit safely in five straight games, but he's batting just .278 (5 for 18) with one triple and three RBI in that span.

"That kid, the pressure of any situation doesn’t bother him," manager Mike Redmond said, per the Sun-Sentinel. "He’s learned so much up here. Early in the game he was really aggressive, swinging early in the count. [Hitting coach] Tino [Martinez] and myself talked to him about trying to work counts and get a little bit deeper into counts and try and get a little bit better pitch to hit. That was a great at-bat. He got a good pitch up in the zone and made him pay."

Marlins outfielder Juan Pierre's first-inning home run Thursday was such a rare sight, Reds starting pitcher Mat Latos could hardly believe his eyes.

"Juan Pierre hit a home run off me -- just my luck," Latos said. "I looked at him when he was running the bases and said, 'What the heck happened?'"

Pierre's home run was his first since June 23 of the 2012 season, and just his sixth extra-base hit of this season. He finished the game going 1 for 5, with one strikeout, in a 5-3 loss.

Pierre has struck out in four straight games, as his batting average is down to .239.

Unless he can snap a string of five losses in five starts with his next one Monday against the Phillies, Marlins starting pitcher Alex Sanabia is going to match a dubious team mark.

Only one pitcher in Marlins' franchise history has ever dropped six decisions in six starts, and that was then-rookie Brad Hand, from August 2011 through August 2012. Sanabia is the ninth player in team history to lose five starts in a row.

After losing Wednesday to the Reds, Sanabia is 2-6 with a 5.00 ERA on the season.
