Miami at Cleveland

Miami has picked up the DH for this series, but what good is it doing them? The Marlins have scored five runs in Cleveland in two games, losing 6-2 and 8-3. It's the end of a lousy seven-game road trip (1-5) and part of a 3-9 slump. The injury-plagued Marlins are 8-20 in interleague games, including 3-12 against the AL Central. Marlins starter Tom Koehler has a losing record with a 4.78 ERA in 17 interleague games. He also has a losing record on the road this season with a 4.48 ERA and faces a Cleveland Indians offense on a roll who is fifth in baseball in runs scored while winning five in a row and outscoring the opposition 28-13. First-place Cleveland is on a 41-18 run at home, plus 11-2 in their last 13 interleague games. Starter Danny Salazar (11-6, 3.88 ERA) has electric stuff with 146 Ks in 127+ innings. And the Indians are 12-3 in his last 15 home starts. Back Cleveland.
