Chisholm’s Marlins After Their Seventh Straight Win

This last series helped them win against the Cardinals before the start of the series at Washington. The recent win against the Angels has allowed Miami to rise again. With Philly just four wins away, Miami is certain they can still climb up in the standings.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. has remained Miami’s leader in batting. Chisholm is now standing with 14 home runs and 45 runs batted in. Sandy Alcantara has also dominated pitching with a 1.82 earned run average, nine wins, and 107 strikeouts.
