3 Miami Marlins that are Hot Right Now
The Miami Marlins walked off the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night with Jorge Soler's first walk off home run of his career. The Marlins are 5-5 in their last 10 games including winning 5 of the last 8 games, just after their 5 game losing streak. Multiple players on the Marlins roster have gotten hot in the past 10 games and we will take a look at who's hot.
Bryan De La Cruz is one of those players who have led the Marlins offense in the past 10 games, as he is currently riding a 10 game hit streak. Tonight he went 2-for-4 against the Nationals and the 9 games prior he was hitting .361 with one home run and 4 RBI and a .923 OPS. De La Cruz had one of the three RBIs on Mondays finale with the Reds and he has a great opportunity to continue that hot streak as the Marlins finish out the series with the Nationals.
Jorge Soler just smashed his 10th home run over the centerfield fence for his first ever walk off and capping off a 1-for-5 day. Soler's last 10 games, not including Tuesday Night's Home run, he is hitting .342 with four home runs and 10 RBI and a 1.103 OPS. Soler most recently known for his walk-off home run versus the Nationals is one of the keys to the Marlins success. If Soler can keep clutch hits going this team has the potential to be really tough to beat.
Make no mistake, Luis Arraez is a professional hitter and currently leads the league in average sitting at .382. Over the past 10 games he is hitting .268 with two RBI and runs and Tuesday night he was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Arraez started off the rally in the 9th inning for the comeback win with a single that drove in the first of the three RBI. Arraez also has a hit in every game in the past seventeen except two and is always one base giving the rest of the team opportunities to drive in runs.
