Marlins News
The Miami Marlins’ playoff hopes took another hit with the loss of closer Pete Fairbanks and setup man Anthony Bender for the remainder of the season, forcing the team to audition new arms for the bullpen. This comes at a time when the Marlins are struggling, having dropped five of their last seven games, including a gut-wrenching 8-7 defeat to the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday. Their pitching has certainly faltered, giving up an alarming 7.4 runs per game during this stretch, while the offense, despite flashes of brilliance from players like Heriberto Hernández and Kyle Stowers, has failed to consistently produce. With just nine games left in the season, the Marlins' recent performance raises serious concerns about their ability to recover and finish strong.
