Marlins Seek to Dominate Phillies' Pitching at Citizens Bank Park
The Marlins are gearing up for an exciting matchup against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. As the away team, the Marlins will be looking to leverage their recent performances and turn their fortunes around after a challenging series against the Diamondbacks.
Recent Performance Analysis
In their last few games, the Marlins have shown resilience despite facing tough opponents. Their hitting has been consistent, with a batting average of .310 in one of their recent games. However, they have struggled with runners in scoring position, which has impacted their ability to capitalize on offensive opportunities. The pitching staff has faced challenges as well, particularly with home runs allowed and maintaining control on the mound.
