Florida Marlins closed a miserable month Thursday with a 5-4 victory over Oakland - their second straight after going 3-23. Florida Marlins' John Buck had two hits and two RBIs, and Logan Morrison and Hanley Ramirez also drove in runs for Florida, which hasn’t won three in a row since sweeping the Giants in San Francisco from May 24-26. Marlins' Anibal Sanchez, who hasn’t lost since April 10, suffered the only setback in four career decisions during interleague play against Texas on June 16, 2010. He gave up three runs and eight hits in six innings of a 6-3 defeat in Miami.
Texas Rangers opens a 10-game homestand after managing four hits in a 7-0 loss to the NL-worst Astros on Thursday. The Rangers had won eight straight in Houston. Texas Rangers' Alexi Ogando had been 7-0 with a 2.10 ERA in 12 starts before his slide began June 14. He was reached for six runs and six hits in only 1 2-3 innings of a 12-4 loss to the New York Yankees, then gave up three runs in five innings in a 4-2 defeat at Atlanta in his next start. He was ripped for six runs—three earned—and eight hits in three innings as the Rangers fell 14-5 to the New York Mets.
