After a month of August where the Marlins hit under the Mendoza Line, the first week of games in September hasn’t been any kinder.
Miami began the season’s final full month 0-4 while being outscored 20-5.
So when they manage to scrape across 3 runs in Wednesday’s 4-3 loss, it almost calls for simultaneous celebration and head-shaking. The Fish have now lost 9 consecutive games and fall to 0-5 in September.
Encouraging again, though, was Trevor Rogers, who, despite being tagged for 2 home runs, gave the Marlins 6 solid innings, allowing 3 runs whilst striking out 8.
