Marlins Lose 1st Game to Phillies. Now 3 Losses In A Row. Must Pick It Up Quick.

With 1 out in the 9th inning the Marlins had two runners and were down by only one run. Then the veteran closer ,Contreras, struck out Cody Ross with a ridiculous off speed pitch after a 96 mile an hour heater the pitch before. Paulino came up next and quickly hit a shallow pop up which ended the game with Cantu and Uggla stranded after two singles each.

The Marlins have gone from just a few games out of first 3 days ago, to sitting in 4th hoping they don't fall to 5th. The Marlins needed to pick up the majority of the wins over this 10 game home-stretch they, they have not done that so far. They have lost 3 out of their first 4 games. The next two games will be just as difficult as the Phillies always play the fish well as we know.

Florida Marlins Site (Official): Stanton Enjoying Ride En Route To Miami

MIAMI -- Mike Stanton, as one might expect, isn't a fan of bus rides.

"I don't like them at all," he said Wednesday after he got off his most recent one, a six-hour trek from Zebulon, N.C., to Sevierville, Tenn., where the Marlins' heralded prospect continued his 2010 surge through Double-A baseball.

Stanton's Minor League success thus far is an uncomfortable one. Not because his hype and current gaudy numbers give him fewer good pitches to hit on a nightly basis, or because those same factors have him conducting about as many interviews as quality at-bats per day. He handles all of that in stride.

It's simply because buses are hard to relax on when you're listed at 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds.

"They're uncomfortable," said Stanton, the No. 3-rated prospect by MLB.com. "I don't really fit in the seats, because I'm so big. I usually just lay down on the floor to stretch my legs out a little bit."
