PHILADELPHIA (CBSMiami) – The Miami Marlins are in a unique situation as the end of August draws closer.
With just under six weeks to go in the season, Miami is 62-63 and within 5 ½ games of the second National League wild card spot.
For a team that was 13 games below .500 in late May, that’s a pretty remarkable feat.
The Marlins will look to get back to even on Thursday when they wrap up a four-game set against the last place Philadelphia Phillies.
Miami swept a doubleheader on Tuesday but couldn’t get anything going on Wednesday, dropping an 8-0 game to the host Phillies.
