He was charged with 3 runs on 10 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 5. His record now stands at 11-6. The Marlins have an impressive 66-41 record.

With Florida leading 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Counsell hit a fastball from Eric King for a 2-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Marlins ahead, 3-0.

"We'll grab a cold one tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Counsell said.
