Sunday’s series finale between the Marlins and Giants was one punctuated by rainfall. A 4:05 Eastern start time, the field conditions were such that the game’s first two innings took an hour to complete.
When the clouds cleared and the excess infield dirt applied mid-game made for the 9 innings to be played in full, Miami would emerge on the wrong side of the 4-3 final, dropping the team’s record to 9-12. With the loss, the Marlins would also lose the season series, dropping 4 of 7.
A bullpen day for Miami after Nick Neidert was optioned to the alternate training site, Ross Detwiler began the day on the bump for the Fish, authoring a scoreless first before being relieved by Paul Campbell.
