Seeking consistency before the All-Star break, the Miami Marlins will look to bounce back in game two of the series with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. Brad Hand will oppose Vidal Nuno on the mound.
Pitching Matchup
| PROJ ERA | FIP | ERA | MARLINS | Diamondbacks | ERA | FIP | PROJ ERA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.73 | 4.94 | 6.21 | Hand | Nuno | 5.42 | 5.15 | 5.40 |
Brad Hand, now the lone lefty in the Marlins' rotation, will look to prove that he deserves to remain in the rotation and gets the start for the Marlins. Hand went five innings and allowed three runs while walking one and striking out five in his last outing against the Phillies.
Vidal Nuno, a former Yankee, will make his Diamondbacks debut against Miami. In five innings against the Rays in his last start, Nuno gave up four runs (three earned) while walking two and striking out five.
Lineups
Miami will turn to their usual lefty lineup against Nuno. Ed Lucas gets the start at second base, with Jeff Baker getting the start at first base.
The Marlins scored just once on Monday, and will look to get on the board early against Nuno.
Notes
-Can Hand turn in a quality start? Tom Koehler lasted just three innings on Monday, forcing Manager Mike Redmond to go deep into his bullpen.
-Will Miami score early? The Marlins scored just once on Monday night, and that didn't come until the sixth inning.
