Tonight was a pitcher's duel between Rich Harden and Matt Cain. Neither pitcher allowed an earned run in a combined 15 innings, but Cain got the win pitching a 3 hitter through eight innings while striking out 13. Rafael Perez came in for the save with a 1-2-3 inning.
Our potent offense managed just 1 hit tonight, off the bat of Nelson Cruz. That single didn't account for our run though, that came when Curtis Granderson walked to lead off the third, stole second, and came home to score on an error.
The Marlins take a 1-0 lead in the series.
