What happened: The Marlins announced their starting lineup for an 8:40 PM ET first pitch, the second-to-last game on their June schedule. Miami enters the night having taken four straight, while the Rockies sit at the bottom of the standings. The broadcast carries on television and on radio via MarlinsRadio, radiomambi710 and 1043WQAM.
Why it matters: A win keeps Miami's recent surge intact as the club holds a 44-40 record and stays in the mix above .500 heading into the season's midpoint. Closing June strong matters for a Marlins team trying to build separation in a tight playoff picture. Colorado, at 33-51, has dropped three of its last five and offers Miami a chance to bank a road series.
By the numbers: Miami is 44-40 on the season (4.3 runs scored, 4.2 allowed) and has won four in a row; Colorado is 33-51 (4.6 scored, 5.7 allowed). The teams' most recent meetings in late March all went Miami's way by a single run: 4-3, 4-3 and 2-1.
What to watch: First pitch is set for 8:40 PM ET, with the result shaping how Miami enters the final day of June.
