They may be in a scrum for last place and the National League’s worst overall record. But one thing the Marlins have shown lately is they’re anything but pushovers.
Thanks to their most explosive inning in nearly year, the Marlins knocked off the Phillies on Sunday to enter the All-Star break on a high note. Their 10-5 victory gave them their second straight series win over a first-place team after taking care of Milwaukee earlier in the week.
The Marlins, who have gone 21-18 since June 5, closed out the “first half” by winning eight of their past 12 series.
