Injuries continue to bite the Marlins.

The Marlins in the heat of a pennant race have lost three starters for the foreseeable future. All Star Paul LoDuca strained a hamstring and is out at least a week. Carlos Delgado, the Marlins second leading home run hitter has been placed on the 15 day DL and Juan Encarnacion, third on the team in Home Runs is out indefinitely.

The Marlins are depleted and are having trouble scoring runs with the aforementioned players on the shelve. Thankfully, when Dontrelle Willis pitches like he did today you don't need a whole of runs to win. Willis ran his record to 15-7 with a brilliant performance pitching 8 shutout innings in a 2-0 win over the Reds at Great America Ballpark.
