<\/a>Florida came away with a 7-6 victory Wednesday night in a 12-inning affair at AT&T Park that was capped by a violent collision at home plate.\u00a0 Emilio Bonifacio\u2019s sacrifice fly scored Scott Cousins, who plowed into Giants catcher Buster Posey, who was injured on the play.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s a baseball play,\u201d Cousins stated.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s part of the risk of being a catcher.\u00a0 We\u2019re trying to win games also.\u00a0 I\u2019m not going to concede the out.\u00a0 Not in that situation.\u00a0 Not ever.\u201d\u00a0 Following this mid-week series versus the Giants, the Marlins will travel south to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers for three games this weekend.\u00a0 \u00a0 The team is 13-7 on the road this year and secured a 6-0-2 in series play away from Sun Life Stadium with last night\u2019s win.\u00a0 Florida is 21-13 versus right-handed starters this year.<\/p>\n
Marlins starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez is one the hottest pitchers in baseball and comes in with a 3-1 record and 3.02 ERA in nine starts.\u00a0 The talented right-hander has won three straight decisions and Florida has won his last three outings overall.\u00a0 In those three games, the Marlins have outscored opponents by a 14-3 margin, while he has allowed just three earned runs and 11 hits over 22 frames.\u00a0 Sanchez has struggled a bit on the road, compiling an even 1-1 mark and 4.30 ERA in four starts.\u00a0 In two career appearances versus the Giants, he is 1-0 with a 1.20 ERA, holding opposing hitters to a .122 average.<\/p>\n
San Francisco rallied from four runs down in the ninth inning to send last night\u2019s game to extra innings but ultimately fell short in trying to even the series at one game apiece.\u00a0 \u201cWhat a comeback. To come up short, that\u2019s a tough one.\u00a0 The way it ended, that makes it even harder,\u201d Giants manager Bruce Bochy stated.\u00a0 \u201cBut the guys battled back hard.\u201d\u00a0 Before Wednesday, the largest deficit the Giants overcame this season was three runs, a feat they accomplished four times.\u00a0 The club has now dropped two straight games after entering the series on a five-game winning streak overall and nine-game home winning streak.\u00a0 San Francisco is 9-10 in day games this season.<\/p>\n
Giants starting pitcher Ryan Vogelsong is scheduled to make his eight appearance (sixth start) of the season and the club has won his last five starts.\u00a0 The right-hander has received just eight runs of support over his last three outings, but he has been up to the task in surrendering just a single run (zero earned) and 12 hits over 18 1\/3 innings.\u00a0 Vogelsong has been brilliant in three home outings (two starts), failing to allow an earned run and scattering just seven hits over 15 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Bettors will likely back the Giants due to their 38-18 record following a loss, while the Marlins are 1-5 in Sanchez\u2019s last six road starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
