The Marlins are no strangers to breaking records: Fastest expansion team to win a world series. First Wild Card team to win the World Series, and longest hitting steak by a second baseman. However the current teams 11 home game losing streak is one record the team does not want to break. Tied with the 1999 Marlins, a lose Wednesday against the Braves would mark the record.
The Fish will turn to Josh Johnson (2-2, 3.78) to stop the bleeding for the Marlins. Perhaps Johnson can give the bullpen rest, which have been plagued with excess innings so far this season. Just his second start of the season, Johnson will try to do what he hasn't done: pitch more than five innings.
If Johnson has an impressive performance, look for Marlins hitters to give him support. Hanley Ramirez has been hitting .455 in the past week, and Cabrera has driven in eight runs.
Future Bright for the Marlins
Good news for the Fish, after these two games against the Bravos, the Marlins are greeted by a 10 game road trip. Hard to look forward to a road trip, but you catch my drift. The trip takes us through Pittsburg, Atlanta, and Tampa.
Crazy stat of last game
Last night, Franklyn German threw just two pitches and did not even record an out. The boxscore read: 0.0 IP 1 H 1 R 1 ER.
Story: German left becuase of a hurt shoulder
