And just like that, the Miami Marlins are a hitting machine.
Well, not exactly. The 13-7 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night proved the team could win ball games without the long ball. As the team beat a World Series contender after two straight losses to the visitor at home, can they string together wins while playing small ball in a spacious stadium like Marlins Park?
It’s a question the team will have to answer when they come back from their road trip that begins tonight in Colorado against the Rockies. Sandy Alcantara gets the ball opposite Jon Gray.
