The Marlins had an injury-plagued spring, and they opened the season with two relievers and a key bench player on the disabled list. 

--The Marlins won their first three games of the season, with a 6-4 victory Wednesday that completed a sweep of the Nationals. 

So far, so good. 

Astros 3, Cubs 2 10 innings

John Lannan had never pitched on Opening Day, and he had never pitched against the Florida Marlins.
