MIAMI (Gracenote) — The Miami Marlins are tied with the Philadelphia Phillies for the fewest wins in the majors (16) and are 1-4 against teams from the American League West over the last two weeks.
The Marlins will face their third AL West opponent in their last four series when they host the Los Angeles Angels on Friday in the opener of a three-game interleague set.
Miami is 3-9 in interleague play and followed up an 11-9 win over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday with a 4-1 setback on Wednesday.
The Marlins totaled four runs in a three-game home sweep by the Houston Astros from May 15-17 and dropped two of three at Seattle last month as part of their struggles against the AL West.
