How to Watch: Phillies vs Marlins for Sunday’s Weekend Series Finale
In this story:
After a strong bounce-back 4-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday, the Miami Marlins are looking to take the weekend series on Sunday.
Great pitching makes a difference. The Marlins have proved that in many games this season, especially last night. Miami is the only team in the National League to have four different starters complete at least seven innings in a game this season.
Max Meyer is the latest pitcher to join the party. The Marlins, along with the New York Yankees, are the only teams in baseball to accomplish this goal.
The Miami Marlins are the only team in the National League to have four different starters complete at least 7.0 IP in a game this season, following a career-high 7.0 innings pitched by RHP Max Meyer today vs. Philadelphia.
