MIAMI -- Welcome home.
That's the greeting for the Miami Marlins (27-35) as they arrive back in town after a 3-4 road trip.
That's also the greeting for Oakland Athletics pitcher Jharel Cotton, a former Miami Dade College standout who will start against the Marlins for the first time in his career on Tuesday.
And, in keeping with the theme, with a slight variation, it is expected to be "welcome back" for Miami slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who should make his first start since getting hit by a pitch on Saturday.
