What’s With The Two Game Series?

Written by Jonathan on April 23, 2008 – 5:55 pm

The Marlins (12-8) are back in town for a two-game series against the Braves (10-10) today and tomorrow before we head off to New York for a weekender against the Mets.  Surprising to pretty much Everyone, 20 games into the season and the Marlins still find themselves perched atop the NL East standings, but I doubt we’ll see them there too terribly much longer.  The Mets, Phillies and Braves are all within a half-game of each other and sitting close behind.

Jeff Bennett (0-0) takes the mound again tonight looking for a little more run support than John Smoltz got in his terrific outing last night.   He’ll face off against Andrew Miller (0-2) who has struggled thus far this season, landing an ERA over 9 to this point.  It would be nice if the offense could get on him early tonight and keep that trend continuing.  It would be nice if we could stick to just one loss and get another win streak going tonight.
