If there was a bright spot for the Miami Marlins in their series against the San Francisco Giants, it's that the team's starting pitchers during the three-game set rounded into form. The problem? An on-again, off-again offense and a bullpen still finding its way couldn't always back up those efforts.
It spoiled what was arguably Trevor Rogers' best outing of the young season. The 26-year-old lefty held the Giants to one earned run on four hits while striking out six. After giving up a run in the second inning, Rogers retired 11 straight batters before allowing a pair of hits.
"These guys are fighting their tails off and working, and we're just not seeing the wins," Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said. "That's the most frustrating thing."
"You're finally pitching out there," pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr. told Trevor Rogers after the game, to which Rogers responded, "It was kind of hard for me to hide my smile right there."
