Searching for a spark: Phillies vs. Marlins series preview

Miami Marlins 44-75 (.370) Last place in NL East (25.5 GB)

Philadelphia Phillies 69-49 (.585) First place in NL East (+7.0)

Miami skipper Skip Schumaker and his Marlins sail into Philly for a short two-game series. The Marlins just finished a road trip through Cincinnati and San Diego where they managed to squeak out a single win at each stop. The Marlins are just ahead of the Colorado Rockies with only one other team living below them in the basement of the majors, the woebegone White Sox.
