Marlins Journal

Mike Jacobs belted a grand slam in the fifth inning and that was the difference in the Marlins 7-3 win over the Pirates.  Hanley Ramirez continued to rake and he went one for three with an RBI and two runs while Jorge Cantu went two for four with a run.

Mark Hendrickson picked up his first win of the season with a solid outing.  He gave up three runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks with four strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.  Justin Miller pitched two shutout innings and he struck out two in the win.

The Marlins go for the sweep tomorrow.  Rick VandenHurk gets the nod against Ian Snell.
