Week at a Glance: Marlins First Homestand

Isn’t it great to have baseball season back?

The Marlins finished their first week of the season with a 3-3 record. All things considered? Not too bad. They were facing two of the best teams in baseball in the Nationals and Mets. There is no shame in splitting those first six games.

After an off-day, the Marlins will resume action on Tuesday with their home opener against the Atlanta Braves, before taking on the Mets once again.

Who is scheduled to pitch this week? Without further ado, here is Week at a Glance #2.
