It is a well -known fact that Miami marlins have the lowest wage bill in major leagues.
However, the Marlins – who should conclude a series of three games on Wednesday afternoon against the visiting dodgers of Los Angeles – seem to have a gift for the dramatic.
Miami recorded his fifth victory tied with a 5-4 victory against Los Angeles in 10 rounds on Tuesday.
“It was an exhilarating and fun game,” said Marlins manager Clayton McCullough.
Miami will turn to the right-hander Valente Bellozo (0-2, 4.97 ERA) to start the match on Wednesday. He has not yet faced dodgers in his career.
Offensively, the marlins hope more from Jesus Sanchez, who went 2 for 5 Tuesday to spend his average stick to 0.230 and his operations to 0.630.
“His history suggest that he has been a quality player for major leagues for several years,” said McCullough. “In recent days, he has struck early (in the practice of the striker).
“It happens. It’s going to turn.”
The Dodgers, who did not announce their launcher for Wednesday’s competition, won nine of their last 11 games against the Marlins.
Los Angeles’ first goal player Freddie Freeman, and his teammate Shohei Ohtani crushed the Marlins who launched in this series.
In the first two games, Freeman is 4-in-9 with two circuits and four products produced. Ohtani is 3-in-9 with two circuits, four products produced and a flight.
The Freeman circuit on Tuesday was n ° 42 in his career against the Marlins. This broke equality with Ryan Howard and Ryan Zimmerman for the most circuits by any player against the Marlins.
“Freddie is an exceptional striker and an exceptional player,” said McCullough, former Dodgers assistant coach. “It is much more fun to look at when you are on its side.”
As for Ohtani, even one of his teammates admits having been a little intimidated around the superstar which, last year, became the first player of 50 Hicherms and 50 flights in the history of the MLB.
Dodgers’ beginner field player, Hyeseong Kim, said Ohtani was nice to him, but …
“I would say that I am still not comfortable with him because he is a big star,” said Kim through an interpreter. “But he always talks to me first. He always asks me questions, and that makes a good adjustment.”
The Dodgers, who made the 12 consecutive seas eliminations, are a well -managed machine. This is the 10th season of Dave Roberts as the team manager, and he has already won eight division titles and two World Series.
Of course, none of this occurs without incredible talent, including the receiver Will Smith, who signed a 10 -year contract before last season. He made the stars’ match in two consecutive years.
The inner field is the strongest with eight times All-Star and 2020 MVP of the National League Freeman at the first and eight times All-Star and MVP of the 2018 American League Mookie Betts at the Copstraft. Betts was rested on Tuesday but should be back in action on Wednesday.
Dodgers outflow suffered a blow on Tuesday when Teoscar Hernandez was placed on the injured list.
“Teo will be inactive for a while,” said Roberts about Hernandez, who has a groin injury. “A guy who takes professional bats and drives in races – we will miss it.”
