Despite a 12-9 loss on Saturday evening, you hoped the Miami Marlins had found a rhythm that would help them in the series finale against their National League East rival, the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.
That was nothing more than a pipe dream. After scoring nine runs in trying to earn a comeback win on the road in Game 3 against Philadelphia on Saturday, the lineup managed just one run on seven hits in a 5-1 loss at Citizens Bank Park. It was the same old story of the lineup’s inability to score when it mattered.
