MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Jarred Cosart will face the team that sent him packing at the trade deadline when the San Diego Padres visit the Miami Marlins on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series.
Cosart will look to dent the postseason hopes of the Marlins, who are 1 1/2 games behind St. Louis for the second wild card in the National League.
Taking the mound for Miami on Friday will be converted reliever David Phelps, who was shifted to the starting rotation following the trade of Cosart.
A more pressing concern for Miami is an offense that has failed to put up more than three runs in five straight games.
