After taking two of three from the Phillies, the Miami Marlins end their season with a four game set against the Nationals, including a double header on Friday. Andrew Heaney will oppose Doug Fister on the mound in game one.
Pitching Matchup
| PROJ ERA | FIP | ERA | MARLINS | Nationals | ERA | FIP | PROJ ERA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.46 | 5.30 | 5.33 | Heaney | Fister | 2.55 | 4.07 | 3.60 |
Miami chose to give Heaney one final start heading into the offseason. He struggled when he placed in the rotation earlier in the year, but has pitched four and two third innings of scoreless relief between his last two appearances. In his last appearance, Heaney tossed three scoreless innings against the Nationals.
Doug Fister is coming off of a six and two third innings outing against the Marlins, during which he allowed two runs and walked a pair while striking out one.

Notes
-How will Heaney perform? Miami's top pitching prospect will look to impress in his final start of the season.
-Can the offense score early? It took a late rally to top the Phillies on Thursday afternoon.
