The Fish's early season woes continued Friday as they opened a seven-game West Coast road trip with a slate against the Giants of San Francisco.
Starter Jarred Cosart couldn't find his command in the early going as the Marlins coughed up three runs in the opening frame. If his first batter was any indication as to how the game would go, he walked leadoff man Denard Span on four straight pitches. It marked one of six walks on the evening for Cosart.
The Giants forced the issue as five of their first six batters reached base to start the game, including a pair of walks and three singles.
