After sweeping the New York Yankees in two games in Miami, the Miami Marlins dropped both games back in New York, to even the Marlins-Yanks series at 2 a piece. The two-game slide dropped the Marlins to 10 games under .500, at 29-39.

Interestingly enough, the Miami Marlins 10-games below .500 record is directly reflected by their 12-22 record on the road this year. They are 17-17 at home.

The Marlins will continue their road trip and try to get back on track on the road, as they travel to Cincinnati, to take on the Reds.

Cincinnati is a place where Dee Gordon and Giancarlo Stanton should get used to, as they should be back here in a little less than a month, for the All-Star game. To ensure they start, please vote for them here!
