01:43Well, that's interesting. Mason Wynn having a big run since the All-Star break. It's nailed on the left shoulder with the first pitch of the game. Here's Herrera, the Redbirds DH. Swing and a miss. He got him and Herrera hits the deck. That was not a well-located changeup, but it so badly fooled Herrera that he swung and missed for strike three. And here's Alec Burleson who went deep in game one. And he hits this sky high into shallow right. Jesus Sanchez is there. There's two away.
02:13He rolls back and he makes the catch. And that ends the inning for Sandy Alcantara. It was nine pitches after the first pitch hit by pitch. Here comes Troy Johnson for his first ever played appearance in the Major League.
02:22636 minor league baseball games. Over 2,700 minor league played appearances. And here he is at 28 years old getting his first Major League shot. Base hit! There's number one for Troy.
02:35Troy. That was close. It wasn't a cutter. It was a sweeper. How about that? First A-B to get your first base hit. That baseball makes its way over to the third base dugout. And that is going somewhere special for him. Spent a long time in the minor leagues and you never really think you're going to make it. And you finally get that call and your first at-bat is a base hit. Congratulations. What a moment for Troy Johnston. Hicks popped out. Johnston the base hit. Javier Cenoa skies to center. Now Paulie left-hand hitting third baseman. There's a swing and a drive in the air. Deep to right field. And!
03:04And! Gone! Graham Paulie with his first as a Miami Marlin. He gives the Marlins a 2-0 lead here in the second. Graham Paulie, 103 off the bat. 384 feet into the Cardinal bullpen in right. And the Marlins open scoring in the second. Jordan Walker. One for four with an RBI double yesterday. Has first base hit against Sandy with one away in the bottom of the second. Now, so Jay-Z's up. Runner takes off and that's popped up. Troy Johnston is going out and in shallow right. He's got it. Throw to first! They double them off!
03:34Oh, the kid's doing everything in his Major League debut tonight. How about that?
03:38Ball four. Second walk of the inning issued by Sandy. Now the tying run is at first base and Alec Burleson's coming to the plate.
03:45Back-to-back games. Burley has homered.
03:48Off the end of the bat. Towards the gap. Right center field. Cenoa's on the run! And he made the grab!
03:53Javier Cenoa with a really nice play in center. And he manages to strand runners at the corners.
04:002-0 in favor of Miami. Batting in the top of the fifth with two outs.
04:03Here's Stowers. He's walked and struck out.
04:06That is blistered out towards the gap in right center field. And what do you know? Extra bases for Kyle Stowers.
04:11He's good for one or two hits a night. And he's got his first hit of the evening.
04:15And Kyle's tremendous July continues.
04:18So Lopez bats an infield hit for him.
04:20The 2-0 is set off the end of the bat. That's going to get down for a base hit into right field.
04:24More two-out damage done by the Marlins. They have a 3-0 lead.
04:27It's another Otto Lopez two-out RBI.
04:30Seems like every single time he comes up with a runner in scoring position with two outs, he just gets the job done.
04:36For the second time tonight, the Cardinals have two runners on in an inning.
04:40That's three walks and a hit by pitch.
04:42Two men on with one away for the top of the order and Mason win.
04:44And he got him on a curveball in the dirt.
04:47Pajas will take off towards third.
04:49He'll arrive safely there on a wild pitch.
04:51But that is a huge and important out for Alcantara.
04:53It's the second of the fifth.
04:54Herrera hit on the knuckles on a 2-2 pitch.
04:58Alcantara's hit two batters in this game.
05:00And now the bases will be loaded for Alec Burleson.
05:032-2.
05:04That one cut on and missed.
05:05Good change up from Sandy Alcantara.
05:07And he pitches his way out of the jam.
05:10And we're through five after he strains the bases loaded.
05:12Good handshakes and hugs for Sandy Alcantara down there in that third base dugout.
05:16And let me say this.
05:17If this is it for Sandy Alcantara as a Miami Marlin,
05:20it's one hell of a way to go out, Nellie.
05:21Goal to the bullpen with Steven Matz.
05:23He's going to work, Brad, in back-to-back games.
05:25Yeah, they haven't done this a ton with Steven Matz.
05:27Didn't throw a lot of pitches in the ballgame yesterday.
05:29Runner in first, but two gone.
05:31Rampoli's taken down.
05:32Wagaman's going to come on and pitch it.
05:34McCulloch not afraid to go for the platoon advantage.
05:37Wagaman in the air to right field.
05:39And deep.
05:39Walker's going back.
05:40And that's over his head.
05:42Bouncing on the track.
05:43Here comes Dane Myers.
05:44He's going to score.
05:45And it's a pinch hit RBI double for Wag Attack.
05:484-0 Fish in the top of the sixth.
05:51All four runs tonight for the Marlins have scored with two out.
05:53Back to the top end, Xavier Edwards.
05:55And there's a fly ball in the air to right.
05:57Chasing Walker towards the corner.
05:59And that's going to get down for extra bases.
06:00This time for Xavier Edwards, who will motor around second.
06:03He's headed towards third.
06:04The throw is late.
06:05Hit RBI triple for Xavier Edwards.
06:07Plates, Eric Wagaman.
06:09And the Marlins opening things up here in the sixth.
06:11It's 5-0.
06:11Good inside-out swing right there by Edwards, who's been in fuego here in the last couple
06:16of weeks.
06:16Valente Belloso coming on for his second inning of work.
06:19He's the fourth pitcher used tonight by Miami.
06:21That's a punch out.
06:22And the Marlins an out away from a shutout victory.
06:25Cardinals have one man left.
06:26It's a J.C.
06:27And the payoff to end it.
06:29Swung on it.
06:30Missed.
