The Miami Marlins will try to build their first winning streak of the 2013 season as they take on the Chicago Cubs tonight. The Marlins are coming fresh off of a win over the Minnesota Twins in the second game of their double header on Tuesday night.

First pitch for this game will be at 7:10 PM EST. The Marlins will have their leading pitcher in ERA early on, Kevin Slowey, taking the mound. The Cubs will counter with their big free agent signing of the offseason, Edwin Jackson. The game will be going on at the same time as the Miami Heat playoff game, as well as the NFL Draft, so there will be plenty of good tickets available at Marlins Park if you want to catch this one.

To get further prepared for this game, please check out the series preview and the chat I had with Joe Han, Editor of Cubbies Crib.
