Minnesota Twins @ Miami Marlins Game Preview: Tuesday, June 25th 7:10 PM EST (Game 76)
The Miami Marlins are coming off of a successful road trip that saw them go 4-3 against the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants. Giancarlo Stanton caught fire in Arizona, but cooled off in San Fran. Marcell Ozuna heated up in San Fran despite a cool showing in Zona.
With Jose Fernandez set to make his 15th start of the season, the Marlins hope both of them can get hot together and get this Marlins offensive lineup going. Fernandez is no longer on a strict pitch count and has been unleashed upon the Marlins opponents.
The Minnesota Twins, in for a quick-two game series, will counter with Kevin Correia. Correia has plenty of experience against the Fish in his career, mostly in a Giants uniform.
