The Miami Marlins are the hottest team in Major League Baseball. They continued their great play by picking up their eighth straight win last night at home against the Minnesota Twins. Miami’s hot streak began with a win in the series finale against the Atlanta Braves. They then swept back-to-back three-game sets against the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks and won the first game of their series against the Twins.

Miami has outscored opponents 54-34 over its eight-game winning streak. Right Fielder Kyle Stowers has four home runs over this streak. How long will the winning streak of the Miami Marlins last?

Miami Marlins Season Summary

Miami’s winning streak has catapulted them past the Atlanta Braves for third place in the National League East. Miami’s offense has not been good this season. They are ninth in the league in batting average, 26th in home runs, and 21st in runs scored. Stowers leads the team in many offensive categories.

The pitching staff of the Miami Marlins has been weak. They are 26th in ERA, 25th in opposing batting average, and 23rd in WHIP. No starting pitcher has stood out for Miami this season. Both the team’s offense and pitching must improve for the team to keep winning games.

Final Thoughts

Miami looks for its ninth straight win tonight against the Minnesota Twins. The Marlins have been playing great baseball over the last week. They will look to keep it going for as long as they can.
