Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Hampson and Stallings in, Xavier Edwards and Nick Fortes out

Additional Marlins Notes: The Marlins offense has quietly been decent lately, scoring at least three runs in each of their last eight games (.786 OPS over that span)...Upon completing the first inning, Alcantara (759.0 IP) will pass Ryan Dempster (759.2 IP) for eighth place on the franchise’s all time innings pitched list. Tom Koehler (767.1 IP) is also catchable tonight if he goes the distance...This 10-game road trip is Miami’s longest in two years (April 22-May 2, 2021).
