Paulino lifts Marlins to series win over Rockies
Baseball Betting Lines
07/22/2010 -
Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ronny Paulino knocked in the game-winning run in
the bottom of the ninth to give the Marlins a 3-2 win to finish out a four-
game series with the Rockies.
Emilio Bonifacio tripled to deep center over the head of Dexter Fowler to
start the inning, and Paulino promptly punched the game-winning hit to shallow
right as the Marlins took three out of four in the series.
Josh Johnson continued his strong run despite receiving a no-decision,
striking out 11 in 6 1/3 innings and yielding just one run on five hits with a
single walk.
Leo Nunez (4-2) struck out the side in the top of the ninth and received the
win, while Gaby Sanchez provided a pair of hits and drove in a run.
Jhoulys Chacin (5-8) was saddled with the loss, walking two and giving up two
hits while failing to record an out. Jason Giambi's RBI single tied it in the
eighth for Colorado, which lost for the sixth time in eight games.
Jorge De La Rosa made an encouraging start after two clunkers, holding the
Fish to three hits and two runs with eight strikeouts in six innings.
It didn't start out that way, though, after De La Rosa walked Chris Coghlan to
start the game and Sanchez doubled to left-center two batters later for a 1-0
lead.
Ian Stewart evened the score with a solo shot to right-center in the second
inning, but Cody Ross got the run right back with a leadoff blast to left in
the Marlins' next at-bat.
Things settled down from there as both starters worked effectively through the
middle frames until Johnson ran into a spot of trouble in the seventh.
After Stewart struck out to start the inning, Ryan Spilborghs doubled, and
Miguel Olivo's base hit left runners at the corners. Jose Veras came in and
fanned Clint Barmes, but Brad Hawpe drew a pinch-hit walk to load the bases.
Seth Smith lined back to Veras to end the inning, but Clay Hensley entered in
the eighth and coughed up the narrow lead. Jonathan Herrera doubled leading
off, and Giambi lined a single to center for a 2-2 game.
Hensley settled down to induce a 6-4-3 double-play from Stewart after plunking
Melvin Mora, and Spilborghs grounded out to end the inning. Coghlan singled
off Joe Beimel to begin the Florida eighth, but Rafael Betancourt came on to
get Dan Uggla on a fly out to strand Coghlan at second.
Game Notes
Johnson, the major league's leader in earned run average at 1.61 after
Thursday's start, was seeking a third straight win and has allowed just two
runs over his last four starts totaling 26 1/3 innings. The right-hander
hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his last 13 starts...The Rockies
took two of three from the Marlins at home from April 24-25...Giambi and
Spilborghs had two hits apiece for Colorado.
