The battle of Florida. The two teams will play early on Sunday for an intriguing Sunday leadoff game that will be telecast on Peacock. 

Miami enters this game with a 21-25 record and fourth in the NL East. Tampa had a 11-game home winning streak until the Marlins put a stop to it on Saturday. Javier Sanoja, who has been on a slump, broke the slump with a three-run double. 

Since April 24th, Sanoja had been 3-for-36 with just one extra-base hit and one RBI. 

The Rays have been a surprising team this season. Pitching and hitting have been the reasons, and they’ve been having fun playing alongside one another. 

Both teams have split the series. The Rays won Friday’s game, winning 7-2. 

Starting Pitchers 

Eury Perez (2-5, 4.94 ERA) will get the ball for the Marlins. It’s a must-win game for Perez. In this game, he must show up and get his third win of the season. It’s been a rough first half of the season. 

Drew Rasmussen (3-1, 3.16 ERA) will take the mound for the Rays.
