MLB at 06/10/2014 20:05
Miami will try for a better performance against a Texas team that's lost 15 of 21 home games - without a series victory - since winning five straight April 15-19. The pitching staff has a 5.76 ERA during that slump in Arlington after the Rangers (31-33) were outscored 28-12 in three consecutive losses to Cleveland, including a 17-7 defeat Monday.
Colby Lewis (4-4, 5.77 ERA) has played a role in those struggles at home, where he's 0-2 with a 10.43 ERA in his last three starts. He's also 0-3 with a 12.83 ERA in his last three interleague outings.
The right-hander has given up at least five runs in three of his past four starts overall and has an 8.44 ERA in the last two. He's never faced the Marlins.
