MIAMI — One week ago, Miami had the eyes of the baseball world as Marlins Park hosted the Home Run Derby and then the All-Star Game.
One week later, relatively few will be focused on the Magic City as the dreary Miami Marlins (41-49) get set to host the worst team in baseball, the Philadelphia Phillies (30-60).
The Marlins are, so far, winless on their homestand after getting swept in three games by the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend.
“Get ready,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said when asked about his team’s attitude for the upcoming series.
