Garrett Cooper Hits Two Home Runs On Wednesday

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper was outstanding in Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Cooper went 3-for-3 with a walk, two home runs, and a single.

Anthony Bender Earns His First Win

Miami Marlins rookie relief pitcher Anthony Bender picked up his first major league win in Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Jordan Holloway Shines Out Of The Bullpen On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie pitcher Jordan Holloway was excellent out of the bullpen in Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Holloway settled everything down immediately though, and provided […]
