Now, it is being pointed out just how hot the Marlins have been in June, according to Sarah Langs of MLB.com.
"The Marlins are the first team to enter a calendar month 8+ games under .500 and leave said month 6+ games over .500," Langs posted on X, formerly Twitter.
On May 31, the Marlins were 26-34, sitting eight games under .500. They were just 18-15 at home, and 14 games back in the NL East. They were also seven games out of a Wild Card spot.
The Marlins then opened June with a sweep of the Washington Nationals and won nine of their first ten games of the month. In June, they have lost just one series, and only lost two in a row once. Meanwhile, the team had three different winning streaks of four or more games. The team went 20-6, moving to third place in the NL East. At 46-40, the Marlins are also tied with the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres for the final NL Wild Card spot.
