The Marlins might have found just the fix for their losing ways, an opponent struggling just as badly as they. In a showdown of doormats, the Marlins on Monday took care of the last-place Padres in a 7-2 victory at Petco Park.
The Padres were only the third opponent they’ve faced this season with a losing record, and they’ve done well with those, going 7-3. But there are just not enough of them -- only five total in the National League -- to make a difference in the grander picture.
No, the schedule hasn’t been easy on the Marlins.
