The effects of the Miami Marlins’ COVID-19 outbreak at the start of the season coupled with the usual wear and tear that comes with the season is starting to have an impact on the Marlins’ bullpen.
During the past three games, losses to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday and the New York Mets on Monday and Tuesday, Miami’s makeshift relief pitching group have given up 17 runs in 16 2/3 innings, which equates to a 9.18 ERA. Seven of those 17 runs scored on the five home runs the group has surrendered against the Mets so far in this four-game series.
