Marlins Turn To Fernandez After Tough Series Opening Loss

MIAMI (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – When a team is in the playoff hunt and its staff ace isn’t playing the part, things usually don’t end up well.

Miami Marlins right-hander Jose Fernandez hopes a return to South Beach will be just what doctor ordered in a bid to cure what has become his worst stretch of the season.

Fernandez looks to snap a four-game winless run on Wednesday as the Marlins attempt to even their three-game home series against the red-hot Kansas City Royals.

Lorenzo Cain had an RBI single in Tuesday’s 1-0 triumph to cement his fourth consecutive multi-hit performance.
