SAN FRANCISCO -- Miami Marlins left-hander Chris O'Grady will make his major-league debut Saturday when he duels San Francisco Giants veteran Jeff Samardzija on the second night of a three-game series.
The Marlins opened the series on a positive note Friday night, riding the impressive pitching of Dan Straily and home runs by Giancarlo Stanton and J.T. Realmuto to a 6-1 victory.
O'Grady was promoted from Triple-A New Orleans before Friday's game, taking the roster spot of right-hander Edinson Volquez, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list with tendinitis in his left knee.
