TODAY’S STARTING PITCHER ELIESER HERNANDEZ • Elieser Hernandez will make his second start of the season today after 4.1 strong innings in the first half of a doubleheader against Baltimore last Wednesday. He was 3-4 with a 4.58 ERA (74.2/38) and 78 strikeouts in 15 starts in 2019.
• Hernandez finished 2019 in the starting rotation beginning July 28, making 10 starts. He posted a 4.88 ERA (48.0/26) with 46 strikeouts in that time.
• Not only has Hernandez never faced the Toronto Blue Jays in spring or the regular season, in CAREER PITCHING
108 games in the minor leagues he never faced a Blue Jays affiliate.
MARLINS MINUTE Following an off day yesterday, the Miami Marlins will take on the Toronto Blue Jays tonight in the first of two games at Sahlen Field. Miami will send right-hander Elieser Hernandez to the mound for his second start of the year. He is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 2020. Miami will play Toronto four times this season in a pair of two-game sets. Toronto will head to Miami on September 1.
• Miami has not played in Toronto since June 10, 2015. That will not change this season with Toronto calling Buffalo, New York home for the 2020 season.
• Miami has not won a game on the road against Toronto since 2009. The Marlins were swept in 2015. However, the Marlins are 10-5 all-time on the road against the Blue Jays and have won four out of five series.
• Miami set a new club record with a 5-0 start to August before the loss on Saturday. With a win today, the Marlins can start August 6-2, a feat the club accomplished in 1995, 1997 and 2000. The 1995 Marlins started 4-2 and won six straight to get to 10-2.
SUNDAY RECAP Miami lost a series for the first time in 2020, falling 4-2 to the Mets. Jesus Aguilar hit his fourth homer of the season in the fifth inning for the Marlins only runs. Pablo López worked five innings allowing five hits and two earned runs. Miami was able to knock Mets starter Jacob deGrom out of the game after just five innings, but lacked timely hitting in the loss, stranding 10 runners on base.

They will finally return home after tomorrow’s game after spending 23 days in a row on the road.

All six players are currently at the Marlins alternate site in Jupiter.

• Houston has also had eight players make their MLB debuts in its first eight games, but According to Elias Sports Bureau before 2020 no team since the 1955 Washington Senators had eight players make their MLB debuts in the first eight games of a season.
A SPRINT AND AN OPPORTUNITY With a 60-game season, Miami is in a unique position to compete for an NL East title. This is the latest (August 11) the Marlins have held a share of first place in their division. Before this season, the Marlins had never spent a day in first place after June 27 in any season in franchise history. The 2004 Marlins were in first place with a 40-35 record, but finished the season in third in the NL East at 83-79. Last season, Miami was 39-63, in fifth place in the division and 21.5 games out of first place with 60 games remaining. The 2016 Marlins had the best 102-game start to a season with a 55-47 record, good for second place, five game back of first. They finished the season 79-82 and in third.
• Miami has held a share of first place for every day of the 2020 season so far.
• Acquired by Miami from Houston in the Major League phase of Rule 5 Draft on December 12, 2014. One of two Rule 5 pitchers on the roster, joining 2019 selection RHP Sterling Sharp.
