Rookie Patrick Corbin pitches the D-backs past the Marlins, win 9-5

The D-backs called up lefty Patrick Corbin to the mound on Monday to take on the Miami Marlins. The result was a solid Big league debut and a win. It looks as though Corbin will replace Collmentor in the rotation for the moment. The rookie lefty had 5.2 IP allowing 8 hits, but with 6 Ks. The d-backs jumped out to a 7-run lead thanks to two two-run shots by Cody Ransom and Justin Upton. That was a large enough cushion for Corbin and the D-back's shaky bullpen, who came away with a 9-5 win.

Miley pitches the D-backs past the Marlins, 8-4

Welcome to Wade's world, Miami. Wade Miley was just a young prospect last season who showed some talent, but nothing flashy. So far, this season has been different. He's been a solid lefty who's been promoted to the starting rotation and Sunday's performance on the mound showed us his talent. Miley pitched 6.1 innings, allowing only one hit with 6 Ks, dropping his ERA to 1.29. As a young pitcher, there was no way he would go the distance, which is why the final score is somewhat misleading. Mike Zagurski (I've never heard of him before) allowed three hits and three runs due to Giancarlo Stanton's 3-run shot while only getting one out. Bryan Shaw would eventually close out the game for the D-backs, giving Miley his third win of the season.

Marlins walk-off against the D-backs, win 3-2

Every baseball fan can agree that the worst way to lose a game is in walk-off fashion. The best way to win one is also in walk-off fashion. Too bad the D-backs are currently 0-2 in the category of walk-offs. Remember the Todd Helton blast that I blogged about a while ago? This Saturday, Hanley Ramirez broke out of his 0-26 slump by smacking a screaming liner down the left field line for a Marlins walk-off win against the Diamondbacks. Once again, the bullpen didn't deliver in the key moment of the game.

Saunders pitches a three-hitter against the Marlins, D-backs win 5-0

If I remember correctly, Saunders was awful at the start of last season. Anyways, this season he's gotten off to a much better start (maybe it's cause of the beard). The veteran of the Diamondback's rotation pitched a three-hitter against the Miami Marlins, lowering his ERA to a stellar and MLB leading 0.90. He won't keep it up, that's for sure, but the D-backs won't need their pitchers to toss three-hitters in order to win, which is also for sure.
