Derek Jeter’s Miami Marlins make their first trip to Fenway Park this year when the Marlins and Sox face off on Martín Pérez day (7:10 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-market).
The Sox should be well rested after the rare two-off day week, and Pérez will hope to roll over the momentum from Wednesday night’s beat down of the Braves, even if said momentum is a narrative device and little more. No skin off our backs; this is a narrative after all!
The Marlins, at two games below .500, fit right in in the jumbled NL East, which means they kinda don’t fit in at all, given how far back they’re usually lagging.
