Don Mattingly discusses Marlins' close win over Giants

SAN FRANCISCO — Two teams in a hurry to turn the page on a disappointing first half will complete a three-game series when the Miami Marlins and San Francisco Giants meet Sunday.

The Marlins will send a hot pitcher, right-hander Jose Urena, up against Giants veteran Johnny Cueto, who has been deemed healthy enough to make a start from which he was scratched Thursday in Detroit.

The Marlins (40-46) have won the first two games of the series, and regardless of Sunday’s result, will go into the All-Star break in far better shape than the Giants (34-55).
