W-L ERA G GS IP H R ER BB SO HR 0-0 9.00 1 1 4.0 6 4 4 0 4 2 4-5 4.68 16 16 82.2 60 46 43 36 86 13 MARLINS MINUTE Looking to snap a three-game losing streak, the Miami Marlins will take on the Toronto Blue Jays tonight in the final game of a two -game set at Sahlen Field. Miami will send right-hander Jordan Yamamoto to the mound for his second start of the year. He is 0-0 with a 9.00 ERA in 2020. Miami will play Toronto four more times this season in a pair of two-game sets. Toronto will head to Miami on September 1. 

• Miami has not won a game on the road against Toronto since 2009. The Marlins were swept in 2015. However, the Marlins are 10-6 all-time on the road against the Blue Jays and have won four out of five series. Miami is hoping for a series split tonight. 

• 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 6-3, a feat the club accomplished in 1997 and bested in 1995 and 2000. The 1995 Marlins started 4-2 and won six straight to get to 10-2. The 1995 Marlins began August 7-2. 

LAST NIGHT Miami dropped its third straight game, falling 5-4 in 10 innings to the Blue Jays in Buffalo. Francisco Cervelli hit a three-run two- out home run in the ninth to tie the game at four, but the Marlins failed to score in their first extra inning game with a placement runner. Brian Anderson continued his hot start to the season when he hit his third home run of the year in the second inning. Elieser Hernandez worked 5.1 innings allowing four hits and three earned runs, striking out five. He kept the Blue Jays off the board until the sixth inning. 

HOMEWARD BOUND Today is the 23rd consecutive day the Marlins have spent away from Miami since leaving for two exhibition games in Atlanta on July 21, inlcuding eight days quarantined in their hotel in Philadelphia. They will finally return home after tonight’s game and play their first home game of the season on Friday against Atlanta. This road trip was originally intended to last six days from July 21-26. 

HOMER HISTORY The Marlins are averaging 1.27 home runs per game (14 home runs in 11 games) in 2020, on pace for second highest in team history behind the 2008 Marlins who averaged 1.29. The 2008 Marlins had three 30+ home run hitters (Hanley Ramirez – 33, Mike Jacobs – 32, and Dan Uggla -32) and five 20+ home run hitters (Jorge Cantu – 29 and Cody Ross – 22). Miami was last in MLB last season in home runs per game with 0.90. 

HEADED BACK TO BUFFALO With Toronto using Sahlen Field as its 2020 home, four Marlins will make a short return to Buffalo after playing for the Blue Jays Triple-A affiliate, the Buffalo Bison during their minor league careers. 

• Jon Berti played in 113 games for Buffalo from 2015-18, hitting .212 with six home runs and 36 RBIs. 

• Justin Shafer pitched in 60 games for the Bison from 2017-19, going 3-5 with a 2.34 ERA in 73.0 innings with 71 strikeouts.

• Pat Venditte made a stop in Buffalo in 2016. He pitched in 25 games, including two starts. He finished with a 2-1 record and a 4.37 ERA in 35.0 innings, striking out 52. 

A LOT OF MOVEMENT Miami has made 58 roster moves since the season began on July 24, including at least one transaction a day for the last 10 days before Sunday. The Marlins currently have 20 players on the Injured List and only have 13 players on the active roster who were on it on Opening Day. 

• INF/OF Jonathan Villar, INF/OF Jon Berti, INF Brian Anderson, OF Corey Dickerson, INF Jesús Aguilar, C Francisco Cervelli, OF Magneuris Sierra, RHP Brad Boxberger, RHP Brandon Kintzler, LHP Stephen Tarpley, RHP Pablo López, RHP Sterling Sharp, and RHP Elieser Hernandez were on the Opening Day roster and remain on it today. 

• Saturday, RHP Humberto Mejía was optioned to the Alternate Training Site and LHP Richard Bleier was placed on the 10-day Injured List (left triceps strain). LHP Brian Moran was recalled and SHP Pat Venditte had his contract selected. 

ALLOW US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES Saturday’s starting pitcher Daniel Castano was the ninth Marlin to make his Major League debut this season. He joined RHP Nick Neidert and LHP Alex Vesia from July 25 in Philadelphia, RHP Jordan Holloway from July 26 in Philadelphia, OF Monte Harrison from August 4 in Balitmore, RHP Sterling Sharp and INF Eddy Alvarez from August 5 in Baltimore, RHP Jorge Guzman from August 6 in Baltimore and Humberto Mejía from August 7 in New York. 

• The Marlins do not have any more players on the active roster awaiting their Major League debuts for the first time this season. 

• According to Elias Sports Bureau, the last teams to have nine MLB debuts in their first nine games of a season were the Philadelphia Athletics (10) and Pittsburgh Pirates (9), both in 1954. 

• 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 12) 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. 

single-A in 2016, he faced the Lansing Lugnuts (Midwest League affiliate of Toronto), and took the loss with 3.0 innings, allowing six hits and three runs. While no players from that Lansing lineup have made the Majors with the Blue Jays, it did feature St. Louis Cardinal, Lane Thomas.
