CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The Miami Marlins went from struggling to get just one hit to trying for one more record-setting hit -- quite an overnight change. Nike Roshe Run Mesh Zapatillas . Giancarlo Stanton led Miami out of its early slump, getting three hits and driving in three runs, and the Marlins beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-3 on Saturday night for their first victory of the season. Omar Infante, Hanley Ramirez and John Buck homered for the Marlins, who managed a total of one run and seven hits while losing their first two games. "No problem," Ramirez said. "The first couple of days, I was feeling good anyway. It wasnt a big deal." This one nearly ended with a little Marlins history. Infante had a double and a triple to go along with his homer. Given a chance to become the first Marlin to hit for the cycle, Infante flied out in the ninth inning. "Lucky day, you know?" Infante said. "I wanted that (cycle). I want to cry." Still a whole lot better than the Marlins first two games. Stanton, who went by the name "Mike" when he hit 34 homers last season, provided the go-ahead runs with a bases-loaded single off Mat Latos (0-1). Ricky Nolasco (1-0) gave up six hits in eight innings, including Joey Vottos first homer since signing a new contract with an additional 10 years and $225 million. Zack Cozart had three of Cincinnatis hits with a single, triple and solo homer. The crowd of 41,662 gave the Reds a pair of sellouts to open the season for the first time since they moved into Great American Ball Park in 2003. Miamis pitching has been exemplary in the first three games. The offence has been the problem. Manager Ozzie Guillen went around the Marlins clubhouse before the game and told his hitters to calm down and not try to do too much at the plate, a lineup-wide problem during the first two games. Advice heeded. The Marlins calmed down and broke out against the Reds biggest off-season acquisition. Reds gave up a package of four players, including a pair of first-round picks and starter Edinson Volquez, to get Latos from the Padres in the off-season. His first start in Cincinnati was a disappointment. "A new ballclub, a new season, I wanted to do well for the fans," Latos said. "When runners got on base, I tried to be too perfect. Instead of locating my fastball, I tried to be too fine. I was trying to be too perfect with my new ballclub." Stantons RBI double in the fourth ended the Marlins streak of 13 scoreless innings and provided their first lead of the season. Infante led off the fifth with Miamis first homer of the season. Stantons single with the bases loaded drove in two more for a 4-2 lead, ending Latos outing. The Marlins stole three bases off Latos, who gave up seven hits and walked two. Ramirezs two-run shot off Sam LeCure in the seventh made it 6-2 and gave Miami its first double-digit hits game. Buck hit another two-run shot in the eighth. "Its nice to see those guys swinging the bat and building a little confidence," Guillen said. The day started roughly for Guillen, who apologized for telling Time magazine that he loves Fidel Castro and respects him for surviving as Cubas leader for so long. The club also issued a statement saying there is "nothing to respect" about the dictator. NOTES: The Reds presented 2B Brandon Phillips and 1B Votto their 2011 Gold Gloves before the game. ...

Corbin said Sunday said he has a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament and is getting a second opinion with noted surgeon Dr. James Andrews before deciding whether to try to rehab the injury or have surgery. "This all new to me," he said. "Ive never been hurt before, so Im just trying to get through it." Corbin had been designated the teams opening day starter against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Australia, but left Saturdays game against Cleveland in the seventh inning with forearm stiffness. He was 14-8 with a 3.41 ERA and made the All-Star team as a rookie last season. "Its a big blow to the individual that hes going through this," manager Kirk Gibson said. "As a team, weve all prepared for him to be a part of it. ... We didnt see anything coming." Gibson said left-hander Wade Miley will start Saturdays opener. Corbin said he had experienced minor tightness in the arm but the condition grew more serious with his final three pitches on Saturday "It felt like a small little shock in there. Nothing popped in there, just a different feel I wasnt used to, just really uncomfortable." Corbin, who barely made the 2013 opening day roster, had a sensational start to last season, opening 9-0 and making the All-Star team. He struggled down the stretch, though, pitching a longer season than he ever had experienced. Now, at age 24, Corbin faces the biggest challenge of his career. "Theres only two options," he said, "taking six weeks off, (then) rehabbing for six weeks, or having Tommy John. Nike Air Max Lunar 90 Precio. ." General manager Kevin Towers said there were three "in-house" candidates to join the rotation -- top prospect Archie Bradley, right-hander Randall Delgado and Josh Collmenter, who normally is the long reliever. Corbin returned this season as the No. 1 starter, anointed early by Gibson to go in the opener. He had made an off-season trip to Australia to promote the game. Gibson said there will be plenty of time on the long flights to and from Australia to discuss the situation. Corbin said he has talked to teammates Daniel Hudson and Matt Reynolds about how to deal with the injury. Both are recovering from the same surgery that Corbin may have. Hudson needed a second operation. Reynolds said he knows how Corbin is feeling. "Its probably one of the low points in your career," Reynolds said. "Its a major, serious injury and youre at the very beginning thinking its going to be a long time. Its a tough day. Theres a million things going through your mind." Miley, who wasnt even scheduled to make the Australia trip, was the obvious choice to replace Corbin, Gibson said. Miley was 10-10 with a 3.55 ERA last season after going 16-10 as a rookie in 2012. "Obviously you never want to see anything like that happen to any of your teammates," Miley said. "Its unfortunate. Hes a big part of this team. .. But I guess its something youve got to deal with, and you move on." cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys Ray Ban Outlet Michael Kors Outlet Michael Kors Sale Cheap Michael Kors ' ' '
