Jeff Brigham has had time to think about what went wrong in his MLB debut. The opportunity to prove he’s better than that three-inning start on Sept. 2, however, has eluded him.
Back-to-back postponed games and the Miami Marlins toying with a six-man rotation for the final month of the season have pushed Brigham’s second big league start to the second game of the Marlins’ Wednesday doubleheader with the Mets — 10 days after his initial start against the Toronto Blue Jays.
“I just have to slow the game down, keep within myself and continue to throw strikes because that’s what I’ve had success with this year,” Brigham said.
