Marlins Try To Avoid Sweep Against Surging Cardinals

ST. LOUIS (CBSMiami/AP) – The Miami Marlins have had their struggles against one of the best teams in the majors, and this weekend has been no different.

The St. Louis Cardinals can capture their first season sweep of the Marlins with a victory in Sunday’s series finale.

With Carlos Martinez taking the ball for the Cardinals and David Phelps pitching for the Marlins, a St. Louis season sweep appears inevitable.

The Cardinals (75-41) moved 34 games over .500 for the first time since finishing 100-62 in 2005 with Saturday’s 6-2 victory, their eighth in 10 games.
