Andrew Cashner, in his first start with the Marlins, hit Diaz with the inside and up pitch. Diaz flinched to get out of the way, but the pitch caught his right hand while it was still on the bat. It's the second time in as many starts this month against the Cardinals that Cashner has bruised a significant player. While with the Padres a few weeks ago, Cashner nailed Matt Holliday with a fastball and bruised the left fielder's nose. Holliday said the pitch was really close to possibly fracturing his face.
