The Miami Marlins will send Elieser Hernandez to the mound on Tuesday when the team tries to end a five-game losing streak in the second of a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Once again, the Marlins bats couldn’t muster consistency and the starting pitcher who was once regarded as the top prospect in Miami’s minor league system was erratic.
The up and down season for Alcantara is something that continues to draw criticism from Marlins manager Don Mattingly, who told the media after the game he thought his No.
