The Marlins won their fifth straight game with a 3-2 victory over the Braves. Florida now trails Atlanta by only two games in the east. This team that was torn apart and filled with inexperienced players owns more wins than the Cubs and Pirates. In the five games they've outscored their opponents 22-12.

Nolasco continues to impress as a starter. He's not given up 9 earned runs in 35 2/3 innings as a starter, a 2.27 ERA. As the Marlins gathered all this young pitching talent last year it was clear they were building toward a strong, future staff. It looks like Nolasco is going to be a big part of that future.
