Spiders Stumble, Lose to Marlins
Florida Marlins starter Roger Clemens was definitely locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Cleveland Spiders, 10-2. The win brings the Marlins to 9-7, a promising start as the team looks to return to the playoffs.

Florida relied on the hitting of Bobby Bonilla to pick up the win. The designated hitter clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Marlins on top, 2-0. For the game, Bonilla had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Clemens told the Florida Chronicle.
