Marlins News
After a disheartening 0-7 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, the Miami Marlins find themselves in a precarious position, having dropped two straight in a series they hoped would solidify their momentum. Despite being the hottest team in the Majors just days ago, that fire fizzled quickly against a resurgent Phillies squad. Manager Clayton McCullough is looking to ace Sandy Alcantara to turn the tide in the next game, as the team desperately needs a win to regain its footing in the division. With a recent 5-2 stretch and a solid run differential of +13 over the last week, optimism still lingers, but they must shake off the sting of last night’s heavy defeat. Players like Liam Hicks and Otto Lopez have been shining lights, but the Marlins can't afford to dwell,it's time to rebound.
