Get out the broom breakers, because the Miami Marlins are looking to bust up a sweep.
This series against the Pittsburgh Pirates has been extremely frustrating, so the Marlins at this point would be happy just to salvage a win against the Bucs. The Fish are going to send one of their best chances for a victory with Anibal Sanchez going to the mound. Facing off against him will be the soft-tossing righty Jeff Karstens.
