PHILADELPHIA -- Attempting to chase down a National League wild-card spot, the Miami Marlins are running out of room for many more letdowns.
They will need to get back on track Thursday afternoon when they close out a four-game series against the NL East basement-dwelling Phillies (46-79). Philadelphia would force a series tie with a win.
Miami (62-63) swept a series-opening doubleheader on Tuesday before the Phillies took one back Wednesday night with an 8-0 win.
As Miami's Thursday afternoon starter, Vance Worley will try to re-establish himself as a full-time rotation member.
