The time for speculation and talk has finally ended for the Miami Marlins. In less than 48 hours, the Marlins will take the field to open the regular season for the first time at Marlins Park.
The Miami Marlins will finish off their spring training/exhibition schedule Monday night with a final game against the New York Yankees. The game will also be the final dress rehearsal for Marlins Park before the season opener Wednesday night against St. Louis.
Giancarlo Stanton and Logan Morrison returned to the lineup for the Florida Marlins, who lost to the Washington Nationals 3-2 Friday night. Ross Detwiler made his first start of the spring for Washington and allowed one run on three hits over five innings. He struck out five.
Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton left Sunday's game after being hit by a pitch in the left wrist.
Excited to be in the Miami Marlins' new ballpark, All-Star closer Heath Bell trotted happily across the outfield grass, the entire team from Florida International University following close behind.
The last time the Miami Marlins had to deal with a player with the wrong name, the team lost a closing pitcher for part of the season. Luckily for the Marlins, this time around the player who will be called by a different name is doing it voluntarily.
