MIAMI -- On Friday night, San Diego Padres right-hander Jarred Cosart will get a chance to stick it to the Miami Marlins, the team that traded him on July 31. Zach Parise Jersey .Cosart, who will step on the Marlins Park mound for the first time since July 25, will face Miami right-hander David Phelps (7-6, 2.28 ERA). Cosart is 0-1 with a 4.54 ERA.Im just trying to prepare like its another major league start, Cosart said. I get nervous before every major league start. Im sure I will have that same nervous excitement.Cosart said he is trying to build off what Ive been doing the past three starts, when he posted a 3.78 ERA and walked just four batters in 16 2/3 innings.Its been a battle for Cosart since his breakthrough year of 2014. He split his time that year between the Houston Astros and the Marlins, going 13-11 with a 3.69 ERA. However, he is just 2-6 since then.Phelps, meanwhile, has been outstanding all year, first as a set-up reliever and more recently as a starter after Miami suffered rotation injuries to Wei-Yin Chen, Colin Rea and Adam Conley. Rea, who was part of the seven-player trade that brought Cosart to San Diego, was returned to the Padres after he got hurt in his first start.With all that adversity, Phelps has come through, posting a 1.31 ERA in his first four starts. He has allowed hitters just a .192 batting average and a .550 OPS.The Marlins (66-61) need to win this series against a Padres team that is not in playoff contention with a lowly 53-74 record.Miami may look to start newly acquired outfielder Jeff Francoeur this weekend.Francoeur, who was acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, arrived in Miami on Thursday and got an infield single as a pinch-hitter in his Marlins debut.Among his new teammates is Martin Prado, who played with him when they were with the Atlanta Braves.Ive played against the Marlins forever, Francoeur said. I do know some familiar faces. I have respect for a lot of these guys and (manager Don) Mattingly and his staff.Im excited. (The trade to a playoff contender) was something I needed. It was a tough year in Atlanta with all the rebuilding. Im excited to come here and get at-bats that mean something.In other story lines:--Both the Padres and Marlins were named on Thursday as two of the hosts of the 2017 World Baseball Classic.

Leicestershire 218 (Robson 62, Payne 5-36) and 181 for 4 (Horton 73, Cosgrove 56) beat Gloucestershire 183 (Taylor 51, Raine 4-57) and 215 (Klinger 54, McKay 3-43) by six wicketsScorecard Half-centuries from Paul Horton and Mark Cosgrove helped Leicestershire to a six-wicket victory inside three days of their Championship game against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham College.Set 181 to win, Leicestershire recovered from 16 for 2 shortly after lunch to seal victory with more than three sessions of the game to spare. Cosgrove hit an impressive 54 and Horton, an unbeaten 73. However, it was far from plain sailing on a festival wicket that once again provided plenty of encouragement for the bowlers.Gloucestershire, resuming their second innings on their overnight total of 133 for 4, found themselves in trouble during the first session, against the Leicestershire trio of Ben Raine, Clint Mckay and Charlie Shreck. Although Michael Klinger reached 50 off 101 balls, with seven fours, he became the fifth Gloucestershire wicket to fall when caught behind off the bowling of Raine at 155 for 5.Jack Taylor, with whom Klinger added 55 for the fifth wicket, departed off the final ball of the same Raine over and when Craig Miles and David Payne followed, in quick succession, Gloucestershire were 161 for 8.Liam Norwell was bowled by McKay for 3, six runs later, before Benny Hoowell and Josh Shaw, who hit a career-best 29, gave Gloucestershire fresh hope with 48 for the final wicket. Jamie Langenbrunner Jersey. Leicestershire, chasing a modest 181 for victory but mindful that Gloucestershire had bowled out Division Two leaders Essex for 151 on the final day of last weeks Championship game at the picturesque college ground, lost Angus Robson before lunch and Neil Dexter shortly after.However, Cosgrove and Horton not only batted with great patience to add 108 off 184 balls for the third wicket, but in doing so, took the visitors to within sight of a third Championship victory of the summer.Cosgrove, who reached his half century off 88 balls, with seven fours, eventually chipped a catch to Will Tavare at midwicket, off the bowling of Graeme van Buuren, at 124 for 3. Still, Horton posted 50 off 113 balls and continued in the same sensible vein as Gloucestershire toiled in the late afternoon sunshine.There were one or two close shaves along the way, before the slow left-armer van Buuren finally snared Horton, lbw for 73, at 163 for 4. Unfortunately, for Gloucestershire, it was too little too late and Mark Pettini and Niall OBrien finally put Gloucestershire out of their misery, with more than 15 overs of the day remaining.
