28 Jul
Summary
- Marlins set a new franchise record with 12 consecutive losses.
- Clayton McCullough expresses frustration but emphasizes team pride.
- Zack Wheeler has a strong career record against the Marlins.
The Miami Marlins are grappling with a franchise-record 12-game losing streak after a recent 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. This extended period of defeat has left the team deeply frustrated, with manager Clayton McCullough acknowledging the lack of wins despite consistent preparation and effort. The Marlins previously held a strong position above .500 on July 9, but have struggled significantly since the All-Star break, failing to secure a victory in their recent games.
Compounding their challenges, the Marlins are set to face veteran right-hander Zack Wheeler. Wheeler has a formidable history against Miami, holding a 14-4 record with a 2.59 ERA in previous appearances and has already defeated them twice this season. He enters the series opener with a 10-2 record and a 2.16 ERA. Miami plans to counter with Tyler Phillips, who has a 5.93 ERA in career appearances against the Phillies.
