The Marlins aren’t just losing. They’re losing badly.
The Mets beat them 13-0 on Wednesday. Two days later, the Phillies shelled them with five home runs in a 14-2 bashing.
These Marlins won’t surpass the 1998 Marlins’ club-record 108 losses.
But all of their lopsided defeats could add up to the worst Marlins season ever in terms of negative run differential, breaking the ’98 team’s mark. And if the blowouts continue over the season’s final two weeks, these Marlins could become just the second major league team in the last 25 years to score the fewest runs in their league while giving up the most.
