The Bullpen came up big for the Miami Marlins, holding the San Francisco Giants offense in check to get the 4-3 win and take game one of the three-game series, Friday night.
The win moves the Marlins back to the 500 mark on the season, and keeps them just two games out of the last wild-card spot. The Marlins have the best record in the Major League in the month of June to this point at 14-4.
Coming off of a day off after going 3–3 on their road trip and their first series loss of the month, the Marlins were looking to start their home stand right with an opening series win against the Giants.
It was a bullpen day for the Marlins, and they did just enough to secure the win.
Eight Marlins pitchers took the mound in the game, with none of them working more than two innings. Combined, they allowed nine hits and three earned runs while striking out five batters.
Cade Gibson earned his first win of the season after pitching 1.2 innings. He threw 21 pitches, 13 for strikes, and recorded one strikeout. He didn’t give up a hit or a walk in the appearance.
Clayton McCullough handed the ball to Pete Fairbanks to shut the door in the ninth, and that's just what he did to earn his 10th save of the season. He threw 17 pitches, 12 for strikes, and did not allow a hit or a walk in the ninth.
Fairbanks earned his 100th career save.
The Marlins' use of eight pitchers to secure the victory means McCullough will be looking for a strong start from Max Meyer in Game 2 of the series Saturday afternoon.
Giants starter Landen Roupp turned in six strong innings, allowing seven hits and two earned runs while striking out seven. He threw 98 pitches in the outing.
Sam Hentges was charged with the loss after giving up the lead in the seventh inning. He threw 11 pitches, allowing two hits and two earned runs.
Owen Caissie was the story of the game at the plate for the Marlins, with a three-hit night driving in three runs.
It didn't take long for Caissie to make an impact, as he led off his day with a solo home run in the first inning.
He followed with a single in the third and a double in the fifth before adding a sacrifice fly in the seventh.
Both the home run and sacrifice fly drove in runs for Miami, helping power the Marlins to the victory. Caissie now has home runs in consecutive games.
Javier Sanoja added two hits in the game and scored twice. In total, the Marlins had 10 hits while striking out eight times.
Jakob Marsee, who had a hit, a walk and a strikeout in the game, had no doubt they were going to pull the win off despite being down late.
“I don’t think we ever had any doubt the whole time,” Marsee said about coming back, adding, “and we just knew it was a matter of time”
The Marlins now turn their sights to Game 2 of the series, where Meyer (7-0, 2.75 ERA) is set to square off against Trevor McDonald (2-4, 4.64 ERA).
With a win, the Marlins would secure their fifth series win out of six series in the month of June.
