The Miami Marlins (29-35) battle their way to play the New York Mets (44-24) in a game Monday afternoon, as these teams wrap up their four-game streak. The biggest teams in the majors and has the second best record in the Premier League. They sit 1st in the NL East while the Marlins are in 4th. Peterson’s Peterson (3-1, 3.60 ERA) starts for Lenny, however, while the sprint starter kicks off the sprint start.
The Mets (44-24) had won three consecutive games before Sunday’s game. Chris Bassett loses control of his stuff and now has a 5-5 record. New York should get used to playing Miami because, after a short run of two games with the Houston Astros, they are heading to Miami for a three-game series next weekend. Peterson will start his 10th start this season. In his most recent appearance, he gave up six hits and four winning runs in four innings en route to his first loss of the year.
While New York is starting to slow in the plate against the Southpaws, the team is in good shape against a struggling sophomore Rogers, who is wearing an ERA of 5.87 this season after competing for this year’s NL Rookie last year.
Wearing unfashionably high uniform No. 64 and with cousin Randy in the stands, the 6-foot-5, 239-pound outfielder threw out Tomás Nido trying to stretch a third-inning single into a double after a one-hop drive off the right-field wall. Encarnación struck out and grounded out in his first two at-bats, then came to the plate with Alcantara (7-2) trailing 1-0 in the seventh.
