Jose Fernandez is back and the Miami Marlins swept the defending World Champion San Francisco Giants. That’s a great for a team that recently dipped to 15 games below .500 for the season.

Now that the team is on a hot streak, it’s time for them to maintain it and hope that a miraculous run can get them back into the playoff picture. But that’s probably asking a lot, especially with slugger Giancarlo Stanton out right now, with a broken bone in his hitting hand.

Next up for Miami? A fourth of July weekend trip to Chicago, the Windy City, to take on the Chicago Cubs.

Coming into the series at 42-35, 8.5 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central and with a 9.5 game lead on the Miami Marlins for the second wild card spot.
