Marlins Take Down Padres

     The Miami Marlins began a 10-game road trip as they beat the San Diego Padres 7-2 at Petco Park on Monday. The Marlins are in the middle of a stretch in which they play 16 of 19 games on the road.
     Miami(20-33) blasted out with four runs in the top of the first and never looked back. Starlin Castro singled into center field and Brian Anderson scored. Two batters later, Cameron Maybin knocked in Castro with a base hit to center. Yadiel Rivera followed with a two-run single into center which brought in Justin Bour and Maybin.
     In the second inning, San Diego(22-33) got their first run of the contest. Franmil Reyes stroked a solo home run to left field on the first pitch. Maybin made it a four-run lead again on a base hit to right field as Castro scored.
     The Fish compiled two more runs in the top of the ninth. Derek Dietrich hit a double to deep left and Rivera crossed the plate. Miguel Rojas then drove in Dietrich with a single to left field.
     The Padres generated one run in the bottom of the ninth inning. An infield hit by Hunter Renfroe scored Christian Villanueva.
