The Miami Marlins will seek to continue to work their late-game

San Francisco Giants when the teams meet for the second time in a three-game series Tuesday night.

Miguel Rojas capped a three-run rally in the ninth inning Monday http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-irv-smith-jr.-jersey , allowing the Marlins to overcome a 4-2 deficit and beat the Giants for the fourth time in five games over the past eight days.

All four wins have come in come-from-behind fashion.

Monday’s thriller could have a carryover effect on the rest of the series as Giants closer Hunter Strickland and Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson, one of the heroes of the ninth-inning rally, exchanged words after the Marlins had taken the lead.

Brinson also had a hand in one of Miami’s rallies last week, smacking a game-tying hit off Madison Bumgarner in last Monday’s 7-5 win.

The Giants did not appreciate the way Brinson celebrated the hit, and it was no surprise when Strickland’s first pitch to him in the ninth this time around was under his chin.

But Brinson earned the right to celebrate again, lining a game-tying single to right field off Strickland, then yelling at the Giants? enforcer on his way to first base.

Brinson reached third on Rojas’ tie-breaking hit, after which Strickland was removed from the game, exiting the field toward the third base dugout and within 15 feet of Brinson.

The two then exchanged words again, setting the stage another possible encounter before the end of the series.

It was Strickland’s fourth blown save of the season, but just the Giants first loss this season in a game in which it led going into the ninth inning. They’d been 31-0.

Afterward, Giants manager Bruce Bochy credited for Marlins for once again not going down without a fight.

“We’ve had the lead; we’ve got to finish it,” he said. “They keep themselves in the ballgame. Keep it close and anything can happen.”

Monday’s 5-4 outcome was identical to last week’s 5-4 Marlins win on Wednesday, a game also started by left-handers Caleb Smith of the Marlins and Andrew Suarez of the Giants.

Tuesday’s second game of the series also will feature a pitching rematch, with right-handers Dan Straily (2-2, 4.23) of the Marlins and Dereck Rodriguez (1-1, 4.34) of the Giants going head-to-head for the second time in six days.

The Giants prevailed the first time around last Thursday despite blowing an early 3-0 lead. They needed 16 innings to win 6-3.

Rodriguez worked 6 2/3 innings in the win Alexander Mattison Jersey , allowing two runs and seven hits. It was just the third start and fourth big-league appearance of his career.

He’ll take an 0-0 and 2.70 ERA against the Marlins into the game.

Straily, meanwhile, worked five innings in the first meeting, allowing three runs and three hits. Andrew McCutchen and Mac Williamson accounted for the three runs with home runs.

The 29-year-old has never lost to the Giants, going 4-0 with a 2.82 ERA in six career starts. He’s 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA in two starts in San Francisco.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The catch that Larry Fitzgerald secured late in the fourth quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday did nothing to change the outcome: another loss for Arizona in a season full of them.It was hardly meaningless to the veteran wide receiver.The catch moved Fitzgerald past Terrell Owens into second place on the NFL’s career reception yardage list. He finished the Cardinals’ 26-14 loss to the Chiefs with six catches for 50 yards, giving him 15,952 yards — behind only Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice.“It happens to be Terrell Owens and I’m pretty close with T.O. His friendship and my relationship with him is invaluable to me,” Fitzgerald said afterward. “He means a great deal to me, and to be mentioned in the same breath with him means a lot to me.”The biggest lament for Fitzgerald, though, was that the yardage he needed came when the outcome was decided. He was shut out on three targets in the first half as the Chiefs took a 20-7 lead.“It’s always important for us to try to get our good players involved, and we try to do it a little early. We didn’t have an opportunity there,” Cardinals coach Steve Wilks said. “He didn’t have any catches, rather, so we came out in the second half really trying to find ways to get him the football.”By the time the Cardinals did, it was too late.Perhaps that was fitting considering Fitzgerald has pieced together one of the finest careers in NFL history relatively quietly http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dru-samia-jersey , with some of his best seasons coming in the Cardinals’ worst years. The 35-year-old Fitzgerald has had at least 100 receptions each of the past three seasons, and five times in his career, while piling up nine seasons with at least 1,000 yards receiving.He has 40 catches for 407 yards and two touchdowns this season.And while Fitzgerald is almost certain to fall short of the numbers he is accustomed to producing, he is nevertheless providing another year of invaluable service: He’s the steady, capable and wise veteran in the ear of Josh Rosen, who is expected to lead the Cardinals for years to come.The rookie quarterback had plenty of bright spots Sunday, even though he was sacked five times and threw a pair of costly interceptions. He threw a touchdown pass to David Johnson, kept the offense moving, and did a fair job of checking out of plays that were bound to go nowhere.He also made sure to find Fitzgerald down the stretch, ensuring he’d get his meaningful yardage.“It’s frustrating that it comes in another loss,” Fitzgerald said, “but I think, offensively, we’re on the field a lot more. Would have loved to have more points, but it’s another step in the right direction. Almost 30 minutes of possession time, so I mean Daniel Jones Jersey , we’re on the field. We were better on third down today. But there’s things we need to clean up.”There are goals for Fitzgerald and the Cardinals (2-7) the rest of the way, too.Fitzgerald needs eight more receptions to pass Rice (1,281 with San Francisco) for the most in NFL history with one team. And the Cardinals can prove they’re moving in the right direction under Wilks with a strong finish against a relatively tough schedule.The Raiders are next, but games against the Packers, Falcons, Chargers, Seahawks and Rams loom.Plenty of chances for Fitzgerald to add to his lasting legacy.“This is something I’ll think about when I’m done playing. I can look back and reflect on it at a later time, but today is not the day,” he said. “It’s nice to be able to do that with the same team, to have so many wonderful teammates that continue to fight regardless of our record. I know we’re 2-7, but I love coming to work and playing for these coaches and playing with my teammates.“It’s a great group of men,” he said, “and we just want to get it right.”
