04/22/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Marlins haven't managed many runs versus the Pirates and they haven't even faced their top pitcher yet. Pittsburgh's Paul Maholm looks to extend his torrid start today in the finale of a three-game set with Florida at PNC Park.
Maholm is 2-0 with a 0.87 earned run average through three starts, allowing two earned runs over 20 2/3 innings. He has won back-to-back starts, including Friday versus Atlanta when he tossed seven shutout innings, working around four hits and three walks.
The left-hander brings a career 2-3 mark and 4.40 ERA in five starts versus the Marlins into today's game. He has struggled versus Florida's Hanley Ramirez, who is hitting .385 (5-for-13) versus Maholm with a pair of homers.
Dan Uggla, meanwhile, is hitting just .231 (3-for-13) against the lefty, but has homered twice off him as well.
The Marlins will hope their double play combination can get to Maholm today. Florida has scored just twice in its current set with Pittsburgh, losing Monday's opener 8-0 before a 3-2 setback on Tuesday.
Jeff Karstens (1-0) pitched six innings of one-run ball and Freddy Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in the victory. Matt Capps tossed a scoreless ninth to collect his fourth save of the year and Adam LaRoche and Jason Jaramillo also knocked in a run apiece for the Pirates, who have won four of five overall and are 5-3 on a nine-game homestand.
Jaramillo, who has played in just four major league games, figures to be in line for more time after the Pirates placed starting catcher Ryan Doumit on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday due to a fractured scaphoid bone in his right wrist. He is scheduled to undergo surgery on Thursday an is expected to miss eight to 10 weeks.
Ramirez had an RBI double and Cameron Maybin hammered a solo home run to account for the Marlins runs. Florida has dropped two straight after winning the previous seven games and is now 6-2 on its nine-game road trip.
Jorge Cantu missed the game with a sore hand and was replaced by Ross Gload, who finished 1-for-4.
Anibal Sanchez (1-1) took the loss after surrendering three runs on seven hits, striking out six in seven frames.
A 15-game winner last year, Ricky Nolasco will try to get his season on track today. The Marlins right-hander is 1-1 in three starts, but has allowed 11 runs in 15 innings for a 6.60 ERA.
He faced Washington on Friday and lasted only four innings, getting charged with seven hits and two runs in a no-decision.
Nolasco is 1-2 with a 1.99 ERA in five games (3 starts) versus the Pirates. LaRoche is hitting just .176 (3-for-17) off him with three strikeouts, while Sanchez is just 2-for-9 against him lifetime.
The Pirates lost three of five to the Marlins last year, but can sweep the club in three games for the first time since July 16-18, 2004.
