Marlins Vs. Diamondbacks Final Score: Struggles Continue As Fish Fall 9-5

For the second day in a row, the Miami Marlins lost a lopsided affair to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Mark Buehrle and the defense behind him struggled en route to a 9-5 loss. That ends a four-game home series in which the Marlins managed just one win.

Three errors, including Omar Infante's second of the season, added four unearned runs to the four earned runs lefty Mark Buehrle surrendered. That staked Arizona to a 7-0 lead in the fifth inning, a day after the Marlins allowed their opponents an eight-run head start.

Left fielder Austin Kearns hit his second home run of the season in the seventh inning, driving in two runs. Donnie Murphy added a 2-run homer in the game. Despite a small rally in the middle of the game that closed the gap to just two runs, the Marlins offense had no answers for the back of the Diamondbacks bullpen.

Arizona knocked around the struggling Heath Bell. The Marlins closer allowed two runs in the final frame.

This was the eighth loss in nine game for the Marlins, who should be battling for the National League East title this season. After Monday's getaway game, the Marlins start a three-game set in San Francisco on Tuesday night.

Diamondbacks Vs. Marlins: Miami Looks To Build Winning Streak After Saturday's Dramatic Victory

Fresh off a dramatic win that snapped a six-game losing streak, the Miami Marlins (8-12) send Josh Johnson to the hill on Sunday to face the Arizona Diamondbacks (10-11), hoping to build on Saturday night's ninth inning heroics.

Johnson is just 0-2 this season with a 4.63 ERA, but in his career he is 3-1 against the Diamondbacks, striking out 28 batters in 27 innings of work.

Arizona will answer with lefty Wade Miley (2-0, 1.84 ERA) on the bump. Miley has been thrown into the Diamondbacks rotation after an injury to Daniel Hudson. After making bullpen three appearances to begin the year, Miley allowed just two hits and struck out seven in six scoreless innings against the Phillies on Monday.

Marlins Vs. Diamondbacks: Anibal Sanchez Strikes Out 14, Miami Snaps Six-Game Skid

By all accounts, the Miami Marlins needed a win. After all, they had dropped six games in a row, and during Friday's 5-0 loss to the Arizona, they had just three hits. But that elusive victory came on Saturday -- at last. The Marlins had one run in the seventh inning, one in the eight and then a walk-off single to left field from Hanley Ramirez to score the winning run, culminating in a 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Anibal Sanchez took the hill for Miami, and to a large extent, kept the team in it, lasting seven innings and allowing just two just runs. Most of all, though, he struck out 14 batters, becoming just the third pitcher in the history of the franchise to strike out at least 14 in a single game.

While stopping the team's current losing skid, it also improved Miami's home record to 6-3 at its new Marlins Park.
