The Miami Marlins have hit a post-All-Star slump.
Since coming back from the break, the Baltimore Orioles swept the Marlins in a three-game series, including one game when they were shut out for eight innings.
The hand wringing has started. The National League East’s second-place team has slipped eight games behind Atlanta after coming much closer.
“The Marlins are going to need to hope they can shake off this series,” the Miami Herald’s Jordan McPherson writes. “… They are going to have many more matchups the rest of the way through their regular-season schedule against teams of this caliber or better.”
