PITTSBURGH (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – The Major League Baseball season is a long and enduring one, so players can’t dwell on a winning or losing streak.
The Miami Marlins did not do themselves any favors by dropping three straight at Cincinnati earlier in the week but have turned things around this weekend.
The Marlins will try to wrap up their seven-game road trip with a winning record when they go for a three-game sweep of the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
Miami held off the Pirates in Friday’s series opener and got a strong effort from starter David Phelps in Saturday’s 3-1 triumph, pushing it a half-game ahead of Pittsburgh in the National League wild card race.
