April 6, 200521 yr The Marlins opened their season in front of a record crowd of 57,405 with a bang. The bats came alive against John Smoltz who exited after 1 2/3 innings surrending 7 runs while Beckett pitched a great game to get the win. Mike Lowell drove in the first Marlin run of the season with a single up the middle. Then, the most exciting moment of the game happened. Juan Encarnacion hit a grand slam, only the second opening day grand slam in Marlins history. Carlos Delgado showed why he is worth every cent of the $52 million contract by going 4 for 5 with 3 RBI and a double. The Marlins looked like they were having fun beating the Braves and seem like they have a great team chemistry. I want to hear your comments on the game. Thanks and Go Marlins! P.S. Sorry about my pervious posts about rumors. I only had heard one person when I posted those rumors. Please forgive me for making a fool of myself. Thanks.
