The Miami Marlins fell to the Padres 10-1 on Friday night. Jose Fernandez struggled on the mound and Miami had dificulty getting men in scoring position.
It was San Diego second baseman Jedd Gyorko who made an error that allowed Giancarlo Stanton to bat with a runner on base on Thursday night, and it was Gyorko who led the Padres' offense with six RBIs in a 10-1 victory on Friday night.
Jose Fernandez struggled from the outset, having a hard time locating his fastball consistently. After Yasmani Grandal reached on a throwing error to open the bottom of the second, Gyorko took an elevated fastball to right field for a two run home run to give the Padres an early lead.
Fernandez loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the sixth before Gyoro hit his second home run of the night to make it a 6-0 contest. The second blast led to Fernandez's departure. In five innings, he gave up six hits and six runs while walking one and striking out five.
Tyson Ross was effective on the mound for the Padres, and only gave up a Marcell Ozuna seventh inning solo home run. Ross' sliders had Miami's hitters fooled for most of the night.
Brad Hand and Kevin Slowey pitched an inning of relief for the Marlins and gave up two runs each. Carlos Marmol pitched an inning of scoreless relief for the Marlins, whose five game winning streak came to an end.
