MILWAUKEE, Wisc. (SportsDirect Inc.) — The streaking Miami Marlins have reached the .500 mark and search for their seventh consecutive victory when they visit the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.
Adam Conley pitched 7 2/3 hitless innings Friday before being removed by manager Don Mattingly after 116 pitches and the Marlins held on for a 6-3 victory in the series opener.
Miami’s Dee Gordon began an 80-game suspension after testing positive for two performance-enhancing substances – exogenous testosterone and clostebol, according to Major League Baseball.
“The hardest part about this is feeling that I have let down my teammates, the organization, and the fans,” Gordon, the 2015 National League batting champion, said in a statement.
