The Marlins waltzed into the Big Apple and clobbered the reigning NL Pennant winners.
Despite the trademark abbreviated outing from Jarred Cosart, the story of the night was the Marlins bats as they jumped all over Steven Matz and kept the heat on the subsequent relievers as the Marlins came out on top big in the first game of the series by a score of 10-3. It was fitting that the offense shined so brightly given that the national telecast focused so heavily on new hitting coach Barry Bonds, cutting away seemingly every inning to watch him and discuss him in the dugout and sporadically playing clips of his interview with Eduardo Perez.
