Game Preview

Jake Burger and Jesus Sanchez aim to continue their recent power displays on Wednesday as the Miami Marlins seek to complete a two-game sweep of the struggling Philadelphia Phillies.

Burger, who homered for the fourth straight game, and Sanchez, who went deep for the second consecutive game, powered the Marlins to a 5-0 win on Tuesday.

The Marlins have now leveled their season series with the National League East-leading Phillies at four wins each.

Philadelphia, in the midst of a slump, has dropped four straight games and 11 of their last 15. The shutout loss was their first at home in a year, disappointing their fans at Citizens Bank Park.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson is considering a team meeting to address the squad’s recent struggles, depending on the team’s attitude and mindset. Despite the frustration, Thomson believes the team is solid.

Kyle Schwarber echoed Thomson’s sentiments, emphasizing that the team’s feelings are more about frustration than worry.

For the Marlins, Burger remains unfazed, leading the team with 23 home runs, including 13 since the All-Star break. His recent performance has been stellar, hitting .330 with 19 RBIs in 24 games since the break. Xavier Edwards has also been hot, batting .363 with 10 RBIs in the same span.

On the mound, Miami’s Edward Cabrera (2-3, 5.20 ERA) aims to build on his recent success. Cabrera has thrown 12 consecutive scoreless innings over his last two starts, including a season-high seven innings against the San Diego Padres on Friday.

Marlins manager Skip Schumaker hopes Cabrera’s recent performances will boost his confidence, emphasizing that his potential is evident.

Philadelphia will counter with right-hander Tyler Phillips (4-1, 4.83 ERA) as they attempt to break their losing streak. Phillips rebounded from a tough outing to secure a win against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his last start, despite giving up four runs in five innings.

Phillips has not faced the Marlins in his brief career.
