Florida Marlins Inside Pitch 2008-09-02


Florida Marlins Inside Pitch 2008-09-02
Lefty Scott Olsen is on pace to set a personal high for home runs allowed in a season.

Olsen served up three solo home runs over two innings Sunday as the Marlins blew a 2-0 lead in a 6-2 loss to the Mets.

"Usually they say solo home runs don't beat you," manager Fredi Gonzalez said.

Olsen has given up 27 home runs this year, fourth-most among National League pitchers and two shy of his personal high, set last year.

Olsen's 29 home runs allowed in 2007 rank fifth in franchise history. The record is 37 by Livan Hernandez in 1998.

Olsen got off to a 3-1 start in April, serving up just three home runs over six starts. But he has gone 0-5 in his past eight starts and he hasn't won since July 19.

MARLINS 4, BRAVES 3: The Marlins lead the majors with 11 walk-off wins. The latest came when C John Baker's sacrifice fly off Braves closer Mike Gonzalez scored Dan Uggla in the last of the ninth. The Marlins loaded the bases on walks when Baker delivered his one-out fly ball.
