Marlins Aim for Rare Series Win in Afternoon Finale Versus Tigers

The Miami Marlins got it done when it mattered most. Locked in a scoreless tie with the Detroit Tigers last night as the game headed to extras, outfielder Jesús Sánchez brought home “ghost runner” Bryan De La Cruz to give Miami a lead and then A.J. Puk converted his first save of the season to hold on for the 1-0 victory. Miami's looking to get the series win today, sending lefty Trevor Rogers (0-6, 6.57 ERA) to the mound this afternoon against former #1 overall pick Casey Mize (1-1, 3.58).
