Marlins Hope To Avoid 4-Game Sweep, Get Jennings First Win

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – It’s been a rough couple of weeks for the Miami Marlins.

The man guiding the Marlins might be different, but the results remain the same.

Still searching for their first victory under new manager Dan Jennings, the offensively challenged Marlins try to avoid a seventh consecutive defeat and first home sweep at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks in 16 seasons Thursday.

Miami (16-25) was competitive in the first two games of this series since Jennings moved from the front office to the dugout, but trailed by three runs after two innings and didn’t get its first hit until the fifth of Wednesday’s 6-1 loss.
