The Marlins are playing in their 29th game in 30 days, part of a stretch where they play 36-in-37. They’re sitting at 15-13 so far. After this series, they’ll head home to play the Milwaukee Brewers and the Philadelphia Phillies for three games each. Then the all-star break (for some).
The Nationals swept the Miami Marlins the last time these two faced off, from May 25th through 27th. In fact, going back into last year’s games, the Nationals have defeated the Marlins in 11 consecutive matchups. Miami has to play the Nationals again in 12 more games after this series.
