Preview: Marlins begin home series against Mets

MIAMI — The Miami Marlins and New York Mets have played 200 games in south Florida, and each team has won 100.

That tie will be broken this week when the Marlins (34-40) host the Mets (34-41) for three games between National League East rivals starting Tuesday.

The Marlins on Monday made a player move, trading shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria to the Tampa Bay Devils for two lower-level projects: center fielder Braxton Lee and right-hander Ethan Clark.

Miami, which is coming off a four-game split against the Chicago Cubs, is going with rookie J.T. Riddle at shortstop.
