The Miami Marlins head to Yankee Stadium off their 1st win of the season to take on the hot-starting New York Yankees
The Miami Marlins (1-9) ended the worst start in franchise history with their first victory of the season on Sunday and now head to the Bronx to open a three-game set with the New York Yankees (8-2) on Monday night. The Yankees took two of three over the weekend from the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and lead the Boston Red Sox by a game in the American League East. Miami’s 0-9 start shattered the worst in franchise history, topping 0-4 jumps out of the gate in both 1995 and 2001. The Marlins are hitting .221/.285/.336 as a team and the pitching staff posted a 5.18 ERA and 1.598 WHIP through the first 10 games.
