MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Marlins season has been in an extreme up-and-down state in recent weeks.
After riding an amazing hot streak, winning 13 of 16 to get back above .500 and in the thick of the NL Wild Card race, the Marlins have come crashing back down to earth.
Tuesday’s loss to the Washington Nationals was Miami’s eighth in nine games, coming immediately on the heels of the aforementioned string of solid play.
The Marlins will try to get back on track and avoid a three-game sweep on Wednesday when they wrap up their series against Washington.
