Hanley Ramirez News

Twenty-one times, the Marlins have rallied to victory this year. None, however, quite matched what took place on Thursday night at Chase Field.

For at least one more day, Hanley Ramirez will sit. The encouraging news for the Marlins is their All-Star shortstop is feeling better, and there is a better chance that he will be in the starting lineup on Friday night at Arizona.

Sure wish the Marlins had Miguel Cabrera back to make a serious post-season run of this thing, and Josh Beckett, too.

All-Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez is still sidelined for Florida. Ramirez is scheduled to start for the National League in next week's All-Star game in St.

He'd already hit three grand slams. What a perfect time for a fourth, in the seventh inning Tuesday with two out and his team down a run.

The National League All-Star roster was selected before the first pitch of Sunday's ballgame, and the Marlins will have a couple of representatives participating in St.

In addition to Hanley Ramirez, who is expected to start at shortstop for the second consecutive season, a baseball source confirmed right-hander Josh Johnson will join him on the National League squad.

Hanley Ramirez homered and Andrew Miller pitched effectively into the seventh inning, leading the Florida Marlins to a 5-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday night.

With the exception of 2007, the Marlins have had at least two All-Stars each year since 2000.

Brandon Moss and Ramon Vazquez homered and Charlie Morton pitched six shutout innings to help the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Florida Marlins 7-4 on Friday night.

It was Morton's first victory in four starts since being traded to the Pirates from the Atlanta Braves in the deal.

Hanley Ramirez will try to stretch his franchise-record RBI streak to 11 games this evening when the Florida Marlins begin a three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates at Land Shark Stadium.

Ramirez hit a two-run double for the Marlins, making him the first shortstop in NL history with an RBI streak of double-digit games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Hanley Ramirez got an RBI for the 10th game in a row, and Cody Ross homered as the Marlins notched a three-game sweep and won their 10th in a row against the Nationals.

Hanley Ramirez #2 of the Florida Marlins drives in Emilio Bonifacio #1 with a double in the third inning against the Washington Nationals on opening day at Dolphin Stadium on April 6, 2009 in Miami, Florida.

The Marlins played the Nationals last night in the only other game involving NL East teams on the Monday schedule.

MIAMI - Ricky Nolasco retired the final 13 batters he faced, Emilio Bonifacio drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth and the Florida Marlins stayed perfect against the Washington Nationals with a 3-2 victory Monday night.

Florida Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez and San Diego Padres pitcher Chad Gaudin have been named National League co- Players of the Week for the period ending June 28.

Price gave up two hits, five walks and had four strikeouts. The first overall pick in the 2007 amateur draft was coming off a pair of losses in which the left-hander was touched for 15 runs and 17 hits in 11 1-3 innings.

The Tampa Bay Rays took two of three games from the Philadelphia Phillies in their rematch of the 2008 World Series after winning 10-4 Thursday.
