The Miami Marlins, energized by their two new corner infielders, will try for a series split on Thursday afternoon against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.
Thursday's pitching matchup will feature a battle of right-handers, Miami's Johnny Cueto and Philadelphia's Michael Lorenzen .This year, the Marlins are 0-4 when Cueto takes the mound. Injuries robbed him of more than three months this season, but he has now made two straight starts.
After joining the Phillies, Lorenzen said, "It's my second year starting, so there's skills to develop. I feel like Detroit did a really good job developing those skills. I feel like I'm in a good spot and I'm happy to bring it here." In the latest game, Miami came back from a 5-0 deficit in the sixth inning. The Marlins also tied the score in the ninth, 10th and 11th innings before winning it on Jesus Sanchez's bloop single in the 12th.
