MIAMI (CBSMiami/Gracenote) – The Miami Marlins early-season freefall seems to have stopped on a dime in recent weeks.
Miami has been playing much better baseball after a rough start to the season and they received another boost Saturday from Edinson Volquez’s no-hitter in a stirring 3-0 victory.
The Marlins go after their third straight series victory and a seventh win in eight contests when they host the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a four-game set.
Volquez took center stage in the third game of the series, but Miami’s offense has been productive during a 9-4 stretch in which it has averaged almost six runs per contest and Justin Bour boasts seven RBIs in the last four, including two on Saturday.
