What happened: The Miami Marlins lead the series 2-0 entering Sunday's scheduled game against the Athletics. Miami has outscored the Athletics 19-7 through the first two matchups.

Why it matters: Miami enters at 47-42 after strengthening its position above .500. The Athletics are 41-47 and looking to halt a three-game slide.

By the numbers: Miami scored 12 runs in the opener and seven Saturday, with margins of seven and five runs. The Marlins average 4.5 runs and allow 4.3 per game; the Athletics average 4.6 and allow 5.4.

What to watch: The next test is whether Miami's offense can sustain its production in the scheduled series finale. Bullpen availability could shape the late innings.
