The Miami Marlins woes continued on Thursday night as the Red Sox completed their sweep of the Fish with a 6-5 win. It was the fourth straight loss for Ozzie Guillen's club, whose season has hit a big speed bump during June against the AL East. This one was especially frustrating as the Sox put together a three-run rally in the eighth inning to come from behind. Edward Mujica gave up the rally as it all caved it in on the Marlins. A Will Middlebrooks bomb to center that traveled nearly 450 feet evened things up and then Daniel Nava singled home Ryan Kalish to put the Sox ahead for good.
The Marlins offense put together a three-run first inning off Daisuke Matsuzaka to take an early lead. Greg Dobbs had a two-RBI single and Omar Infante knocked in Dobbs. After a Giancarlo Stanton homer, Infante would knock in Dobbs again in the sixth to put the Marlins ahed 5-3. But it would all come undone in the bottom of the eighth.

The Miami Marlins are in a free fall right now, losers of three in a row, six of their last seven and an overall record of 4-13 in June. The Marlins need some kind of spark to get back into the race of the NL East. Maybe Carlos Zambrano (4-5, 3.92 ERA) could be the pitcher to provide that spark.
Zambrano is coming off his worst start of the season, a two inning shellacking by way of the Tampa Bay Rays on June 15. In the start he allowed four runs on three hits and walked six batters as well. A strong performance by Zambrano could snap a two game losing streak on his end.
If the Marlins are going to try and keep their ship from sinking, they are going to have to do it against Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, who has lost both of his starts this season, including June 15 against the Chicago Cubs, where he went six innings and gave up three runs on four hits including three walks and strike outs as well.
The game is scheduled for a 7:10 p.m. first pitch from Fenway Park. The game will be televised nationally on MLB Network with regional coverage provided by Fox Sports Florida. Radio coverage will be provided by MAJIC 102.7 FM and WAQI 710 AM.

The Miami Marlins were trying to rebound from their opening series loss against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night, but the outcome wasn't what they hoped for. While the Marlins jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, the Red Sox offense went to work in the second and third innings, scoring three runs in each inning.
The Red Sox continued to pound the runs in the fourth inning adding six more runs to push their lead to 12-4 midway through the game. The Marlins picked up another run late on a John Buck solo home run to cut into the Sox lead, but it wasn't enough. The Marlins struggled to keep up as Boston knocked around Ricky Nolasco and Chris Hatcher on their way to a dominating win.

The Miami Marlins will try again to beat the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night, after dropping the series opener. Miami and Boston are revisiting their series from last week, in which the Sox took two of three, but this time the games are at Fenway.
Ricky Nolasco pitched a decent outing against Boston in his last start, but a bullpen collapse and a meager two runs of offensive support put him on the hook for the loss. Nolasco lost three of his last four starts, dropping him to 6-5 on the season with a 4.37 ERA.
Boston got a great outing from Felix Doubront in that same game. He struck out nine and allowed just two earned runs over seven innings for his seventh win of the season.
The game starts at 7:10 p.m. It will be broadcast on Fox Sports Florida.

The Miami Marlins made a trip to Boston to take on the Red Sox on Tuesday evening but walked away with a 7-5 loss. The Red Sox jumped on Mark Buehrle early, picking up two runs in the first inning and following that up in the second inning with two more runs. Buehrle lasted just five innings, giving up seven hits, six earned runs, and three home runs.
The Marlins offense actually got the scoreboard going first with a two-run home run by Logan Morrison, but after that struggled to keep up on the scoreboard. In fact, the only real offense the Marlins had was from Morrison, who knocked in all the runs for the Marlins picking up two more doubles in the game for RBIs.
Miami's bullpen couldn't hold however as Boston picked up a run in consecutive innings to hold on and win, 7-5.
