"The six straight home losses is a first since April 28-May 5 of 1999 when the Marlins lost eight straight. The losing streak is the longest of the season, and the longest streak since May 15-21 of 2006 when the Marlins lost seven in a row." The Fish are again tied with Washington for last place in the NL East. Then again, four of those six losses were just by one run. And even though "Josh Johnson and Anibal Sanchez combined for 41 starts last season, and this year managed only ten," the Marlins are only 3 games behind where they were at this time last year.
Today the Marlins play in St. Louis. The Cards "have won eight of their last 12 games". Wainwright against Barone tonight.

WELCOME-TO-THE-BASEMENT: Fish obtain sole possesion of last place in the NL East, as Hanley lets Armando have a little too much playing time, and the Marlins lose 5-2. Nats, Mets, Phillies win; Atlanta loses.
