Jet-Lagged Marlins Shut Out By Padres 4-0
MIAMI (AP) - Tim Stauffer pitched six innings and four relievers completed a six-hitter to help the San Diego Padres beat the travel-weary Florida Marlins 4-0 on Tuesday night.
Ryan Ludwick and Orlando Hudson hit consecutive two-out RBI doubles in the first inning for the Padres, and that was all they needed. Cameron Maybin had two hits, an RBI and a run scored against his former team.
Stauffer (6-6) won for the fourth time in his past five starts and lowered his ERA to 2.83. He allowed four hits and two walks but stranded three runners in scoring position.
The Marlins, playing in their third city in as many days, looked jet-lagged as they went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position. The shutout was the fifth this season for the Padres.
