Justin Wayne vs. the Diamondbacks Wayne didn't quite give the Marlins what they needed, but he fared alright after giving up a two-run homer to Junior Spivey, the second batter he faced. After looking pretty lost against leadoff man Craig Counsell and walking him quickly, the struggling Spivey (.211/.309/.296 even after last night's 3 for 5 performance) crushed a 3-2 pitch to deep left, putting the exhausted Marlins in a hole from which they would not emerge. Jeff Torborg probably would have liked to get more than 5.2 innings from Wayne and avoid having to use Michael Tejera (who is now thrust into the rotation with A.J. Burnett done for the season), but it wasn't to be. Headed back to Albuquerque following the start, Wayne probably performed well enough on extremely short notice that he'll be the first guy back up should the team need to reach down again for another starter. More in this space shortly. Or tomorrow. Soon. - |
