After the game Monday, the Marlins sent the struggling starter Andrew Miller to AAA New Orleans according to the Fish Bytes blog in the Miami Herald. Miller had been struggling in his last few starts.
Gaby Sanchez is 25 years old and had hoped to make the team out of spring training. He is [...]
In Miami, the Phillies were looking for a sweep in what was originally slated to be a four game set against the Marlins. They sent the undefeated J.A. Happ to the mound, looking for his seventh win without a loss and the team’s eighth straight win. Happ(7-0) continued to be great, as he went seven [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies(45-38, 1st in NL East) took three out of four from the Reds this week. They decided after playing one game that could have had the mercy rule to play some real baseball though in their other two wins.

The Florida Marlins(44-42, 2nd in NL East 2GB) really need All-Star shortstop and slugger Hanley Ramirez to get healthy quick. They did take the final game of a three game set in San Francisco, but their offense is much different with him out of the lineup. The Marlins are still only two games [...]

It seems all that Jamie Moyer and the Phillies needed was the battered Mets to come to town to remember how to win, and win at home. The Phillies won 4-1 yesterday with Jamie Moyer(7-6) pitching into the seventh inning while only allowing one run for Philadelphia. Jimmy Rollins had another nice day going 1-3 [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies are reeling, and the New York Mets aren’t exactly lighting up the ball field either. The Phillies have gone 4-14 in their past eighteen games. During those same eighteen games since a matchup between the two, the Mets are 7-11 actually allowing them to gain ground on the Phillies.
The Phillies(39-37, [...]
