If the Miami Marlins are going to track down the Colorado Rockies, it’s going to take a lot of winning. Back 4.5-games, the margin for error is razor-thin. That’s why dropping the opening game of the series had the potential to be disastrous.
But it wasn’t! The Miami Marlins continue to dodge bullets. Playing the lowly Detroit Tigers, the Rockies failed to rally from a one run deficit, losing 4-3. While the Marlins didn’t gain any ground in the playoff hunt, they didn’t lose any either.
They’re a team counting their blessings on Tuesday morning.
