Craig Counsell batted in 4 runs to lead Florida to a win over Cincinnati. The final score was 6-5. Counsell chipped in with 1 single and 1 home run. Getting the save was Bryan Harvey, his 5th. The Marlins have hit the ground running, raising their record to 15-7. While it's still too soon to talk about Florida hoisting their 2nd World Series trophy, fans are getting excited about their strong start.

Counsell had a big at-bat with runners on 2nd and 3rd in the bottom of the seventh inning, when he hit a 2-run single. The Marlins went on to win.

In postgame comments to the Florida Times, Counsell said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
