Marlins Seek Redemption Against Guardians at Progressive Field

First Inning


As the Marlins prepare to face off against the Guardians at Progressive Field, fans can expect an exciting start to the game. The Fish have shown a tendency to struggle early, as evidenced by their recent games where they failed to score in the first inning. However, with players like Nick Fortes and Xavier Edwards leading the charge, there is potential for a quick turnaround.

Middle Innings


The middle innings will be crucial for both teams. The Marlins' pitching staff has had mixed performances recently, with starters showing vulnerability in allowing runs during these innings. Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera will need to tighten up their control and keep the Guardians' hitters at bay. On offense, look for Otto Lopez and Matt Mervis to capitalize on any scoring opportunities that arise.


Late Innings


In the late innings, bullpen performance could be a deciding factor. The Marlins' bullpen has been inconsistent but showed promise in recent outings with improved strikeout rates. Anthony Bender and Jesús Tinoco may play pivotal roles in closing out tight situations against Cleveland's lineup.
