Jarlin García gets hit hard
It turns out that García is human after all. He pitched the shortest outing of his starting career, lasting only four innings and allowing seven runs on six hits. Garcia was victim of the long ball—he gave up one home run apiece to Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, and Ian Happ. That hole was too deep for the Marlins to overcome, as they could only muster up two runs and lost by a final score of 14-2.
Matt Harvey: potential Marlin?

Marlin Maniac asks: Can Matt Harvey revive his career in Miami?
The Dark Knight has fallen out of favor in New York. Harvey was DFA’d by the Mets after he refused a demotion to Triple-A last Friday. After pitching at an All-Star-caliber level in the early part of his career, he hasn't been able to rebound from significant injury issues (Tommy John surgery and thoracic outlet syndrome).
So far this season, Harvey is 0-2 with a 7.00 ERA, but at the age of 29 and legitimate accomplishments on his resume, he presents too much upside for the Marlins not to at least consider bringing him in...right?

Lewis Brinson turns 24 today. The Marlins center fielder didn't play in last night’s game, but look for Lewis to return to the lineup in his usual role. Hopefully, he has a great night at the dish.

Jose Ureña seeks revenge
The first time Ureña faced the Cubs, he didn't have his best stuff. He gave up five runs in four innings pitched and the first home run of 2018 to Ian Happ.
Ureña has been much better of late, having allowed two runs in the past 14 innings pitched. The Marlins are looking to even the series and will need him to lead them tonight.
