Team Summaries | Marlins Notes: In eight innings the Padres prevailed with a stunning comeback in the top of the 7th and by pushing across a run in the 8th that held up. After leading most of the way, the Padres relinquished the lead in the bottom of the 6th when the Marlins exploded for 8 runs. Shaq-daddy executed a suicide squeeze to perfection to give the Marlins the lead. Marlin bats pounded out hits, with Panger exploding on a ball to deep left center for an inside the park homerun and Jim P., Fro-Do, Jobu, Kleiner and P-nute all joining the hit parade. Jobu pitched a strong four innings to get the Marlins in position to win but Marlin pitching could not get the last three outs. Hox came in with the bases loaded to strike out two and send the game into extra innings. Hox's gutty performance looked like it might have been enough but the Pads found a way to push across a run in the 8th and the Marlins stranded a runner at 3rd with two outs in the bottom of the 8th.
