Arizona Diamondbacks hand Miami Marlins sixth straight defeat 5-0 – MLB Recap
The Arizona Diamondbacks won 5-0 against the Miami Marlins on Friday, April 27 at Marlins Park, Miami Florida in their first four-match regular series game of 2012 Major League Baseball season. It was Marlins’ sixth straight defeat of their fresh season start.
Diamondbacks' starting pitcher Joe Saunders played tremendously and sent Marlins in bitter darkness with an exceptional big margin win on Friday in front of a big 31,949 crowd.
Left fielder Jason Kubel on the other hand clutched the bating offence as he made career tied well deserted four hits and made Marlins realised dire defence they are carrying.
The Diamondback pitcher Saunders who is 2-1 struck-out four of the batters and walked off two to become the relished individual.
"I was making good pitches and I was just fortunate they were hitting it at my defense," Saunders said. "My defense was awesome. It was a great night all-around. You always want to get off to a good start especially on an 11-day, 10-game road trip like we're on now, You always want to go out there and get the road trip off on a good start and hopefully save the bullpen."
Later, Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said for Diamondbacks’ two talented young guns. "A combination of a good pitcher on the mound and a really bad hitting team right now, I think that's what happened. Seems like we're not having fun."
Kubel on the plate was certainly tremendous as he extended his hitting streak to total ten games after becoming full time active player on roster of 2012.
Diamondbacks were coming with a poor three-match series against the Philadelphia Phillies and four-match series against the Atlanta Braves.
The three-game series against the Colorado Rockies was also a poor encounter, but with this recent win, the Diamondbacks are roaring for a good start which will lead them into the post season qualification.
In the meanwhile, the Miami Marlins before last six games were playing wonderfully when they won the three-game regular series against the Chicago Cubs, but this latest defeat has put them into bitter disgrace where they seemed not in control.
