What happened: The Marlins are slated for an 8:40 PM ET first pitch, with coverage on television and on the radio through MarlinsRadio, Radio Mambi 710 and 104.3 WQAM. Miami takes the field holding a 2-0 lead in the series. The club enters on a three-game winning streak.

Why it matters: At 45-40, Miami sits five games above .500 and has been steady on both sides of the ball, scoring 4.3 and allowing 4.2 runs per game. Holding a series edge on the road matters for a team trying to bank wins during a long stretch away from home. A strong showing would extend one of the better recent runs on the schedule.

What to watch: Watch whether Miami's offense keeps producing after back-to-back double-digit run totals, and whether the pitching holds its season-long edge in run prevention.
