After two months have passed in the 2012 season, the first thing most will note when glancing at the NL East is, all teams are playing above .500
Oklahoma State left-handed pitcher Andrew Heaney has been selected by the Miami Marlins with the ninth overall pick in the draft.
The Miami Marlins walked away from Sunday's game with a powerful pitching performance from Carlos Zambrano and a nice home run from…Carlos Zambrano.
Carlos Zambrano homered and pitched into the eighth inning, and Hanley Ramirez went deep, too, to lead the Miami Marlins to a 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.
The Miami Marlins beat one of the majors' top pitchers to even their series in Philadelphia. They might win the set if they can somehow add to the struggles of the Phillies' next scheduled starter.
Hanley Ramirez and the Miami Marlins are the only ones who have been able to figure out Cole Hamels this season. Ramirez hit two homers, both off Hamels, and drove in three runs to help the Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Saturday.
Hunter Pence hit a two-run homer, Hector Luna had three RBIs and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 6-4 on Friday night.
Giancarlo Stanton hit his 12th home run in May to tie the franchise record for a single month and the Miami Marlins earned their 20th comeback victory Wednesday night, completing a three-game sweep of the first-place Washington Nationals with a 5-3 win.
The Miami Marlins will hate seeing the calendar turn to June on Friday. The Fish have been the hottest team in baseball since the beginning of May, winning a franchise record 20 games in the month.
Anibal Sanchez allowed only an unearned run in seven innings to remain unbeaten in 19 starts against Washington, and the Miami Marlins beat the Nationals 3-1 Tuesday night to break the franchise record for victories in a month.
A bill battle is brewing between the Miami Marlins and Miami-Dade County.
The Miami Marlins may not need much help if they can keep playing the way have in May; but help will be on the way in July.
The red hot Miami Marlins continued their torrid May Monday by knocking out the NL East-leading Washington Nationals, 5-3.
Do you hate that home-run thing the Marlins have parked in the outfield? Then you should love slugger Giancarlo Stanton. As his season heats up, he's putting more balls out in the area of the home run thing. Friday, one of his powerballs almost took the thing out.
Chris Coghlan snapped out of a season-long slump with a tiebreaking three-run homer off Tim Lincecum in the sixth inning Friday night, and the Miami Marlins rallied past the San Francisco Giants 7-6.
