Marlins jump on Padres early, coast to 7-2 victory
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. They entered Monday having faced the most challenging schedule in the majors, at least going strictly on the combined .532 win percentage of their opponents.
